Amy HoppenrathSocial networks, such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter are changing the way professionals build relationships and transact business. Social networks are business tools not to be ignored. Based on trends, professionals must learn to embrace these new tools. Otherwise they will find their competition gaining a distinct advantage.
Have you built a profile, made a few connections and are now wondering "How do these tools produce results?" Amy Hoppenrath, with AccelerAction LLC will guide you through the LinkedIn process as well as several other social media platforms.
When you learn how to use these powerful tools, they can help you to:
Manage Your Online Image and Increase Your Visibility
Social networking sites allow you to build a personal business profile and brand online. When you spend time developing a profile explaining the benefits of working with you and back it up with solid recommendations from past employers, colleagues and clients, you immediately increase the level of trust with your prospects. Plus Social Networking also helps you to improve your “Google page rank.”
Enhanced Knowledge
When used properly, social networks can enhance your knowledge by allowing you to tap into the collective wisdom of your network.
You can:
* Quickly obtain information or advice that might help you solve a business problem
* Research a company
* Seek insight on a company, product or service when developing a proposal. Get “real” references on someone you’re considering to hire
