One of the coolest LinkedIn features is being able to create a headline on your profile so that when you post on groups or send messages everyone can read your promo. What headline are you using this week on your LinkedIn profile to promote your biz?

How often do you usually change your headline?

Twice a month Lorinda.

Hi Lorinda! You don't want to change your headline too often. For me only when there is a significant change in branding. Your headline is your "above the fold" identity intended to start a conversation.

Mine is: I Help Business Owners Achieve Consistent Cash Flow ♦ “Donnatize to Monetize”™ ♦ Leadership Coach ♦ Speaker ♦ Author

You can change it weekly to keep things fresh. Then go respond to posts on the groups you belong to. It's the perfect way to get around the "no promotion" rule.

Mine is "Seeking Business Women To Survey About Their LinkedIn Activities. Free Directory Listing Offered."

Some people do change regularly as Jerrilyn stated, but my corporate clients are looking for consistency of brand. If I win an award or have a special opportunity to share- I might put it in there- but my headline is for the client.

As you can see Jerrilyn and I each have our own focus. It depends on whom you are trying to connect with; and it is all about relevant connections in this space.

That's why LinkedIn is so perfect! It's flexible to fit the marketing needs and focus of b2b.

Wow us with your business genius. Share a business tip that can help us
advance today.

@womenpartner1. Never sell – Be a solution provider and an expert in that solution.
2. Listen more than you speak.
3. Never discount – there is a strategy to meeting the price objection and a discount isn’t it.

Also...Read my book “You Lost Me @ Hello: Actionable Principles That Move You Beyond Networking” available on Amazon at: http://www.amazon.co...

Let’s be clear that this is where the real opportunities are.In sales it saves you time because you can easily vet the decision makers and establish points of connection. A warm introduction always trumps a cold call.

LinkedIn has allowed me to manage long term relationships while leveraging my time to the fullest.

Love your tips!

Thanks Jerrilyn, it has been a joy to be with you tonight.

We are all on LinkedIn to promote ourselves. What's new and exciting with your business?

As the Advancement Strategist, I am currently working with a very talented group of entrepreneurs in my Creating Consistent Revenue Mastermind.

Please share more about the mastermind group.

As a Speaker, I just returned from a conference in Miami and have 3 other major events coming up - including the Guinness World Record event here in Chicago and "Time is Money this September in Detroit.

Last, I am working with tier two businesses looking to up their "A" game with: Revenue Up: Move Your Sales From Sluggish to Sensational with the Donnatize to Monetize System.

How exciting!!!

The group includes: a Metal smith, a Business Development Consultant & an Early Childhood Development expert. All seeking to create the branding and processes that will produce consistent and reliable revenue from their business ideas.

This program will be offered again in August.

LinkedIn has over 300,000,000 members. 140+ million of them are women. It's time for us to take the site seriously. So far, women haven't dominated it. What do you think women are missing when it comes to LinkedIn?

There are many forward thinking women using LinkedIn. Unfortunately, many view it as a typical "social" platform and that is unfortunate. Linked in helps to level the playing field and dispel a lot of the 'Business Boy's Club" barriers.

I love LinkedIn! I am trying to convert as many of FB business associates to it as possible. It's perfect for b2b.

Absolutely it is where the money is to be made for significant sales.

A large of the women who've taken our LinkedIn survey say that the reason why women don't dominate the population on LinkedIn is that they don't know how to use the site to their advantage.

It's true that there is a learning curve, but there is no excuse for not getting started. Use LinkedIn as your online business brochure- it gives you the opportunity to really stand out from the pack.

Hopefully the new LinkedIn group we are launching, Female Power Brokers Network, will help women learn how to use the site.

Feels a little "funny" over here on CrowdChat talking about maximizing LinkedIn exposure. I make my living on LinkedIn using strategies that generate me an average of 8 leads a day. I teach my strategy at http://clientgetting... :-)

Is this a new tool or something that has been around for a while Jennifer?

I am going to watch your webinar Jennifer. Thanks for sharing!
