#LinkedInLocal #LagosMeetUp

Yesterday evening was a remarkable day, as it marked the launch of #LinkedInLocal #LagosMeetup, which incidentally is the first ever #LinkedInLocal gathering in Nigeria.

The meetup gave me an opportunity as the Keynote Speaker for the event to discuss “How to Maximise the Potential of LinkedIn for Career and Business Development”. The major takeaway and highlight for participants arising from my presentation is in two folds:

a.      To increase and achieve sales goals, attention should be paid to your social selling index (SSI) as LinkedIn internal study found a strong correlation between achieving sales goals and sales reps with high SSI.

b.     To land your dream job or sales, serious attention should be paid to having a complete LinkedIn profile, which is the face of your personal brand. Research has also shown that LinkedIn members with complete profiles are 40x more likely to receive opportunities through LinkedIn.

The room was filled with connections who want to make a difference in their career and business.

Should you require assistance on how to improve your social selling index and/or have a complete LinkedIn profile with the customer in mind, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected].
