Would you like to use LinkedIn as a tool to generate enquiries or to build your business contacts? If so, then this workshop will give you some practical tips on how to get the most of the LinkedIn platform.

It used to be the case that LinkedIn was just a place to put a copy of your CV online and wait for recruitment agencies to approach you. Whilst that does still happen, today LinkedIn is a platform that offers an online place to network, raise your professional profile and find sales leads.

In addition to building a network, you’ll also want to learn about the additional products and features as part of the LinkedIn family and how best to use them.
