#27 Business Growth, Try This!

Thanks for diving back into the newsletter – it's been a while since July! In this edition, I’m pulling back the curtain on a business growth challenge that I’m currently leading in my paid cohort ( The TRIBE )You’ll get an inside look at the assignment for week one, so you can start applying it to your own strategy right away. I’m also excited to share two upcoming events where you can learn everything you need to know about social selling tactics and Go-To-Market strategies. And don’t miss the latest LinkedIn algorithm updates to keep your strategy sharp. Let’s dive in!

In 7 Weeks a Winning Client Acquisition Strategy

I’m excited to give you a sneak peek into Week 1 of the Business Growth Challenge I’m running in my paid cohort! This is a valuable opportunity, as I’m sharing this first assignment with you for free to give you a taste of what we’re diving into. This week is all about leveraging client feedback to elevate your LinkedIn profile, making it an irresistible magnet for future business. So, take advantage of this insight and start applying it today – because the rest of the challenge is reserved for my paid group!

Let’s break it down, step by step.

Step 1: Gather Client Insights

Reach out to at least five of your clients and ask them a few key questions to uncover why they chose to work with you and the value they received. Keep it casual and conversational. These insights aren’t just testimonials—they’re a chance to reconnect with clients.

Questions to ask:

1. Why did you choose to work with me?

2. What did you love the most about our work together?

3. What was the main benefit you gained from working with me?

4. How do you continue to see value from our collaboration?

Pro Tip: This is more than just gathering feedback. It’s another meaningful touchpoint with your clients, so make the most of it.


Step 2: Update Your LinkedIn Profile with Client Quotes

Now that you’ve collected feedback, it’s time to use those golden insights on your profile. Here’s how:

1. Banner: Feature a client quote or their logo (with permission). This instantly shows credibility.

2. Featured Section: Highlight a recommendation or post showcasing client praise. You can also create a carousel of client feedback.

3. About Section: Integrate client quotes into your story, showing how your approach solves real problems.

4. Work Experience: Use quotes or mini case studies to demonstrate your impact in your job descriptions.

Bonus Tips:

- Use visuals like banners and posts to make your profile pop.

- Keep it authentic—integrate quotes naturally into your profile’s narrative.

- Update regularly as you gather more testimonials and results.


Collecting Feedback: Methods to Use

1. Email: Convenient but may lack the full depth of client enthusiasm.

2. LinkedIn Recommendation Request: Efficient for LinkedIn visibility but responses might be brief.

3. Video Call (Recorded): Captures real-time enthusiasm but requires more coordination.

Pro Tip: Choose the method that best suits you and your client. The goal is to make it as smooth and comfortable as possible for them to share their thoughts.

LinkedIn Algorithm Updates

Understanding LinkedIn's algorithm is essential for maximizing your impact. The right approach can significantly increase your reach and engagement, turning cold connections into valuable clients.

Here are four key tips to boost your LinkedIn performance:

1. Optimize content formats: Short vertical videos (under 90 seconds, with subtitles) and infographics generate up to 38% more engagement, making them ideal for grabbing attention in a busy feed.

2. Consistency over frequency: Posting at least twice a week with high-quality content can increase your visibility by 50%, helping you stay top of mind without overwhelming your audience.

3. Engage to boost reach: Engaging with your network daily by leaving 5 thoughtful comments on others' posts can expand your network by up to 30%, positioning you as a visible and active participant in your industry.

4. Track meaningful interactions: Focus on metrics that lead to real conversions—track connection invites, direct messages, and comments from your target audience. These interactions are 3x more likely to lead to business results than likes alone.

By aligning your efforts with these proven tactics, you’ll see greater success in turning LinkedIn activity into measurable outcomes.
