LinkedIn for GovCon - May 6 in Columbia MD

"The LinkedIn class was excellent and I learned a great deal." Federal marketing manager, SAS Institute

Are you a business leader, sales manager or small business owner who wants your sales, marketing and BD staff to-

• Grow their professional network of customer, prospects, and partners

• Connect with more decision makers through introductions and referrals

• Increase their visibility and value by sharing valuable information

 WIN MORE BUSINESS!

Then LinkedIn for Government Contractors is what you need (and seating is limited)!

BEFORE every session of LinkedIn for GovCon, I update the slides. Even though the public sessions are usually only three or four months apart, LinkedIn changes enough that several of my screen shots are outdated. Layout changes, changes to group functions, features disappear – it never stops. So I update for each session.

AFTER every session, people will come up and say “I thought I was an expert before I took this class, but I learned so many things…” If I had a dollar for every time I heard that, well, I would have a couple hundred extra dollars.

It is part of my business to be a master of the intricacies of LinkedIn and to show people and companies how best to use it. I have been coaching people and companies on using LinkedIn since 2009 – six years. Each coaching situation is different and demands slightly or radically different approaches: one size does not fit all.

When was the last time you asked yourself if you are using LinkedIn to your full advantage?

Contractors that “get” LinkedIn will do much better than those that don’t “get” it.
  
Who is on LinkedIn?

ALL Federal agencies;
ALL major government contractors;
ALL the people you need to know!

Do you need to grow and better manage a network of clients, prospects, partners, media and others in your market?

Do you need to generate qualified leads, do some great marketing and get some PR for your company without breaking the bank?

Rather than spend thousands on lead generation, marketing and PR with minimal results, why not invest a little time learning how to use the biggest and most valuable business network in the universe – LinkedIn!

This workshop is for those who sell to the government AND those who sell to government contractors.
