How are you using LinkedIn to build your business? Are you building relationships with people in your industry? I think that people don’t use LinkedIn enough and that it’s a great website for branding yourself as a leader in your industry and learning from others.

Good article Brian!  I have recently begun to try and use LinkedIn more myself.  I have grown my “connections” with people both in my industry and with my present clients.  Through these connections I am also developing connections with potentially new clients.  I make sure I introduce myself and request a link to their company.  So far, this has been pretty successful.  Once I get that connection, I look for their company page on Facebook.  I then leave a note on their timeline letting them know I searched out their company through our LinkedIn connection and make sure to “Like” their page.  As you stated in your article, I have also joined groups pertaining to my business (background checks). I try and be an active member and have learned a lot.
