Using LinkedIn To Get Results Personally And For Your Organization

In this episode we talk with Daniel Alfon, author of "Build a LinkedIn Profile for Business Success".  Daniel opened his LinkedIn account in early 2004 and has since helped thousands of entrepreneurs and consultants grow their business.

During our discussion we talk about:

• connection strategies to get real-life introductions
• common mistakes people make when trying to use LinkedIN to make connections
• the pros and cons of cultivating a large network vs. a network of people you actually know 
• the difference between your personal LinkedIN profile and company page and how to leverage both effectively
• selecting the right metrics to follow
• how often you should be posting to LinkedIN
