Launching a Startup via LinkedIn

The situation:

Shane* had come out of an accounting firm in order to start up his own accounting business but was not allowed to approach clients his worked for in the previous job. Shane realised that he needed to work on his LinkedIn profile which would help him get into contact with them but wasn’t sure how to use it to its maximum ability. An online marketing coach was just what he needed to kickstart his new business. This is where Marketing Minds came in…

What we did:

Although different to marketing a business, Marketing Minds approached this project in a similar way. It is important that the online marketing coach understood Shane’s goals in order to develop a plan to help him achieve them. During this process, we:

• Welcomed Shane to our LinkedIn training for business where we informed him on the foundations and etiquette of the social platform.
• Taught Shane about how he could become visible as well as finding and extending his connections.
• Giving Shane the tools to use LinkedIn to its maximum potential for himself and his new business.

The outcomes:

• Optimised Shane’s profile through utilising LinkedIn’s purpose of being found in today’s tech-heavy world.
• Maximised exposure of his profile via various LinkedIn tactics therefore Shane was able to start up with almost 40 clients without approaching them, but connecting via LinkedIn and appearing in search results.
