This month I start teaching at the University of Houston Small Business Development Center once again. I used to be an instructor for them a few years ago, but I had to step away because of my schedule. I was sorry to take the break, because I learned a lot from the questions my students asked. Having to prepare for the class made it a necessity for me to keep up on the intricacies of specific social networks — it made me better at social media (since that’s what I taught).
WHAT: “Using LinkedIn to Grow Your Business”
WHEN: Wednesday, July 15, 2015 at 9am to 12pm
WHERE: UH Bauer College SBDC
2302 Fannin, Suite 200
Houston, Texas 77002
LinkedIn is a powerful networking tool that has many benefits for business owners. Even if you are already on LinkedIn it’s likely you aren’t tapping into its full potential. In this hands-on I workshop you will discover how a LinkedIn strategy will generate new customers, improve your business development, and assist in your sales research efforts.
You will walk away with the “how to” of:
- Improving your profile
- Choosing a memorable profile picture
- Searching for business contacts, friends, and colleagues
- Securing and giving online recommendations
- Actively participating
- Using the “requesting an introduction” feature
- Finding tools to keep you organized
- Adding content from other sites
- Creating goals and measuring success
