Why Linkedin? Why this workshop?
Whilst many thousands of construction professionals are on LinkedIn (over 590,000 in UK Construction by the end of 2013) most of them don’t know how it works, what to do with it, or appreciate the immense power of LinkedIn as a tool for their existing real life networking. Construction professionals operate using a referral-based method of generating business; so keeping in touch with contacts is vital. LinkedIn is the ideal tool to do this efficiently, helping your network of contacts to refer and recommend your expertise more easily.
This workshop sets out the key steps to using LinkedIn for a construction professional.

“I highly recommend the LinkedIn For Professionals Workshop. Su Butcher presents a vast amount of relevant and useful information clearly and succinctly. Her overview outlining the relevance of social media and how to use it as a marketing tool is invaluable and well researched. I learnt how to optimise both my own profile and the company profile and how to use both as marketing tools to raise awareness of Jablite as a thought leader in the insulation sector. An inspiring event!" Bridget Bouch, Corporate Communications Consultant
