We now make first impressions online before making them in person. Think about it--- before you start a business meeting, I bet you Google the person you are meeting with. And speaking of Google, the Google algorithm loves LinkedIn. LinkedIn is often on the first page of search results. If you want to control the narrative, creating an impactful LinkedIn profile is a great place to start.
This webinar will not cover how to create a profile but will focus on more intermediate marketing strategies.
