A quick bit of history: Istarted using LinkedIn about ten years ago. It was one of the first social media sites I found a realaffinity with. In the last 17 yearsI have builta business from just two people to twenty and head up the sales element of said business. Igenerate more leads and opportunities through LinkedInthan any other social network.

I have spent the last five years training my clients face to face in how to use this incredibly powerful platform. I've taken that content and created theseonline courses so you can be sure that the material has been tried and tested over a number of years.

This incredibly powerful social media platform is one of the most important B2B channels out there. Iwill help you get to know how best to use it in a fun, friendly and professional manner.

Ihope to see you on the course. All feedback is alwayswelcome.

best explanation

By Dave Loperena on 5/3/2020

yes, very easy to understand!!

By Patricia Johnstone on 3/11/2020

Seems to use a different version of LinkedIn (possibly premium vs basic?). Menu items discussed weren't where indicated. Also, not what I expected - I am not a business owner or sales person. I wanted to learn to use LinkedIn from a more personal level, for job search or to maintain business contacts. Seems like it would be good for someone in sales or similar - just not what I was looking for.

Clarity... thanks!

It was very informative, but I was looking for more on the differences in the memberships and how to post pictures, the differences in publish and article and make a post, the administrative side of the page.

Simple and yet so elegant. An Experiential Interior Designer, I had set up my account seeing samples of others, but I have just understood (finally) how even the smallest things matter !
Thank you Alastair ! I'm taking the advanced course next after I have corrected my profile : )
