How to convert followers to clients
LinkedIn isn't just a suit and tie affair.
Believe it or not, it's actually a platform buzzing with opportunities to stand out by being yourself and by being creative.
The key isn’t to blend in with a sea of corporate jargon.. because that’s just boring, right?
Right.
The key is to engage and captivate through your unique story.
It all starts by optimising your profile to showcase your real personality alongside your achievements.
This sets the stage.
It’s kind of like a landing page, letting people know who you are and what you stand for.
Next, we dive into content creation.
Forget posting what everyone else does; share stories that reflect your journey, challenges and wins.
This approach demonstrates thought leadership and helps build genuine connections.
But we’re not stopping there.
Ever posted and nothing happens?
Crickets?
That’s because you don’t have a bridge.
Bridging turns those LinkedIn interactions into real-world opportunities.
Always aim to continue conversations off the platform, transforming connections into valuable leads.
If you’re looking for some juicy, detailed and incredibly valuable information to make your LinkedIn work for you, reply to this newsletter with the word "LinkedIn".
I’ll create a detailed breakdown in our next issue 👀
