I recently asked LinkedIn members to share their success stories or results that they’ve achieved because of using LinkedIn. Reason being, I am working on a recorded webinar on How To Use LinkedIn for Business and I want to use examples of success other than my own.
Here are some of the results and success stories shared by other LinkedIn members:
- Increased website traffic as a direct result from increased activity on LinkedIn
- Better brand awareness
- New customers (for services, product & live entertainment gigs)
- Personally recommending a service provider when a friend needed that particular service.
- Establishing & maintaining Top of Mind awareness
- Obtained market research info
- Received recommendations for needed business resources
- Used LinkedIn profile to obtain new contact info for a connection that had changed employers.
I too have experienced most of the above.
Just FYI, I posed my question to LinkedIn members through the LinkedIn Question & Answer feature and I also posed it to many of my LinkedIn Connections. I received responses from a large number of people…many of whom I’ve never met, nor am I connected with. That’s just one of the beauties of LinkedIn!
Here’s to Business Networking That Gets Results!
