5 Steps to enhance your consulting profile on LinkedIn.

5 Steps to enhance your profile using LinkedIn


1)      Create or update your profile 
1)      Add your latest projects under the projects section.
2)      Connect your twitter account so updates go to your twitter followers
3)      Add a link in your profile to your blog(start a blog to write about your projects)
4)      Update linked In when you add a new blog post.

2)      When you start a new project link with your team members
1)      Great way to see who you are working with and what they have accomplished
2)      Easy way to stay in touch as people move around internally and externally
3)      Ask some of these folks for recommendations for your profile

3)      After meeting with the client team try to link with as many as you can, IE exec sponsors, PM, HR etc
1)      See items above, this is an easy way to build your network and competency

4)      Put aside 30-60 min each week to look at or provide updates in your groups.
1)       You do belong to groups don’t you? Great way to help build your self as an expert
2)      You don’t need an update every week but if you have one post it

       5)   Use your status updates to announce positive events about your project.
1)      This is one area to be careful using social media
1)      Don’t give exact time or locations
2)      Don’t mention your client name
3)      Don’t say anything you would want to see on you tube
2)      Examples I have used ( feel free to use as a template)
•        In Delaware, So excited to meet my new client face to face today.
•       Looking forward to kicking off my new program in Buffalo today.
•       Just met some great people at my new client
•       Wow, I am so excited…The client has an awesome team working on this project
•       Amazing, the program is green and ahead of schedule, Great job Team
