If LinkedIn Sales Navigator was a car ...

It would be a a Lamborghini ... driven by learner drivers.

For many people, that’s the reality - far too much power without the appropriate training.

I honestly couldn’t go back to life without Sales Nav - all of our team have it at Six Sells, and it takes an already powerful business networking tool and turns it into a superpower.

However, commercial leaders often don’t get adequate training on how to get the most out of the investment, and so Sales Navigator ends up crashing and burning, and left abandoned.

A Lambo reduced to a lemon. 🍋

Six Sells offers team training sessions to get the most out of LinkedIN and LinkedIn Sales Navigator - only using the features that matter most to identify, connect and engage with the people that matter most to you.

Moving your team from learner drivers to Lando Norris's level.

Salespeople → Are you struggling to get enough attention from your ideal clients?

If so, one powerful thing for you to consider is the problem statement.

There are a large number of companies that haven’t properly defined the problem(s) they solve, and certainly haven’t done that in the language that your ideal client would use internally to describe that problem.

So, ask yourself these questions:

→ Can you articulate a problem that you solve, that your ideal client also recognises as a problem?

→ Can you explain it in the way that they talk about, feel it, and recognise it in their day to day world?

→ Can you articulate the path from problem to solution that you offer, simply, quickly and concretely?

When we work with clients that CAN do the above, the response to their content and outreach is stronger than those who can’t.

💬 - If you need a helicopter view to help you get out of the weeds, I have 3 consulting days still available in Feb.

Both your people and your brand should be taking content on LinkedIn very seriously.

An organic content strategy for your people, occasionally boosted with paid activity that is hyper targeted to your audiences will win in 2024.

With every year that passes, we live more and more in the digital world...

Your next boss, client, or business partner spends more time online than they do sitting in front of you, so it’s important that we show up in the digital world as well as we would hope to do in the physical world.

With that in mind, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to optimise your LinkedIn profile:

1. Profile Picture:

Choose a recent, professional photo and use as much of the available space for your head and shoulders. A plain background is ideal, but definitely avoid too much detail in the background, as it can be hard to make out your facial features on a small screen if there is visual noise in the background.

2. Background Image:

The background image is an often-overlooked aspect. Utilise this space to echo your personal or corporate branding, ensuring it transmits a clear, professional message about you or your company.

3. Headline:

Your headline should extend beyond your job title. Choose 5 keywords that best define you as a professional, and use them in your headline as this is a search-friendly field.

The first 40-characters of your headline are visible without having to click into your profile, so think about how you use them. (If you are using Creator Mode, then consider using your five keywords as hashtags as well)

4. Your 'About' Section:

This segment is your chance to tell your professional story. Adopt a conversational style, blending your personality with professionalism. Include your 5 chosen keywords here as well to help your profile appear in relevant searches.

5. Recommendations:

Authentic recommendations can substantially elevate your profile. Seek endorsements from colleagues, clients, or mentors who can vouch for your abilities and achievements, adding a dimension of trust and authenticity.

6. Content:

Engage regularly with your network. Share insights, comment on posts, and get involved in conversations. This not only boosts your visibility but also cements your position as a thought leader in your domain, while making you more familiar to your target audience.

Your LinkedIn profile is essentially your digital home from a professional standpoint, so spending a little bit of time getting it to be as good as it can be is a good use of these days between Christmas and New Year!

I have a lot more detail on each of these 6 sections, so if you have questions please feel free to ask me in the comments and I will be happy to answer them.

BREAKING ... this episode is now available for you to download, and you will not want to miss it! 🧡

In this episode, Mike Nicholson, founder at Six Sells, speaks to John Kearon, co-founder and president of System1.

John has a career that includes spells working at brands, a media agency, and now works on the creative side.

Above all, this is a wonderful story about perseverance and resilience.

New ideas often take time to get traction.

When we consider that human decision making is influenced heavily by what we did before, and what is everybody else doing, something brand new is bound to take time.

Even so, to have the resilience to carry on for 21 months without a single client, as John talks about in this episode, is an amazing and inspirational story. During that time, John talks about living hand to mouth, and doing a little consulting here and there to try and pay the bills.

John was working towards what he describes as an evolutionary algorithm: Generate, Test, Fail, and Learn.

Then in month 22, everything changed...

Turns out we have FOUR winners, or at least, our clients do !!!!
