25.01.2022 I make no secret of the fact that I love L I N K E D I N ! It is by far, the best B2B professional online networking platform on the planet. Usage of LinkedIn has risen dramtically in 2020, as more people are in front of a screen. If you're wondering what all the hype is about, join me on 15th Sept at my Exclusive webinar 'Leveraging LinkedIn for Business' . ... Please comment below if you would like me to send you the link to secure a place. In the meantime - happy reading..... Microsoft's Q4 FY20 earnings report included highlights on LinkedIn's performance - here's a snapshot: LinkedIn has now surpassed 700 million users and reports record engagement as more than 706 million professionals turn to the network to connect, learn, and plan for the future. Content shared on the platform was up nearly 50 percent year-over-year, and LinkedIn Live streams were up 89 percent since March. Professionals watched nearly 4x the amount of LinkedIn Learning content in June 2020 than they did a year ago. #salescoaching #linkedincoach #salesenablement

15.01.2022 Have you ever wondered how your LinkedIn Profile and activity stacks up against your competition? The LinkedIn Social Selling Index (SSI) helps you understand where and how you can achieve best practice in your Social Selling efforts. I'm pleased to say, my score is 77/100, which places me in the Top 1% in my industry and in the top 6% of my overall network. Of course - there's always room for improvement! The thing is - why should anyone care about their SSI? Simply put - ...the better your SSI, the greater your results will be in developing business opportunities from your LinkedIn activity. It is also an indicator of the influence and impact you create from your content and engagement on LinkedIn. If you're wondering how to improve your Social Selling effectiveness - I can help.

13.01.2022 As an easy comparison, think of training and coaching like driver’s education. Most times, students will start with a class that teaches them how to safely drive, without ever stepping foot in a car. Without those in-the-car moments and reinforcement from the driving instructor, however the training we learned in class will likely go forgotten or unused. #SproutBusinessGrowth #SalesTrainingProgram #SalesCoaching #BusinesssMotivation #InTheFieldCoaching

07.01.2022 L I N K E D I N is the largest online business network on the planet, with over 680 million users. 80% of all B2B social media leads come through LinkedIn. It is THE platform you need to be on, to find and attract your ideal clients and showcase your expertise to promote your Personal Brand and grow your business. I’ve been using LinkedIn for over twelve years and this year alone; I have quadrupled my business results purely through my engagement and activity on LinkedIn.... I know firsthand the business outcomes that can be achieved by having ‘more eyes’ on your business and promoting your personal brand on LinkedIn. I love helping business owners, professionals and entrepreneurs do the same, so I have created services to help you too! I can teach you how to leverage LinkedIn for your Business, or you may prefer to someone do it for you. Does your LinkedIn Profile attract your ideal clients? Does it showcase your expertise and value? Does it articulate the outcomes that your customer achieves from working with you? Is it keyword optimised? Does it have a professional photo and banner? Have you set up a Business page and linked it with your personal profile? I am now offering 1:1 LinkedIn Mentoring - to review your Profile, tighten up on your messaging, teach you how to search for your ideal clients, how to create content, design your banner and show you how to leverage your profile to create leads and build your business. Or, if you are looking for a done-for-you LinkedIn Business Profile service then look no further. Please DM to organise a call or book a time with me on the link below for a quick Zoom and Profile review to determine how I can help. Calendar link: https://calendly.com/kymcousins/linkedin-review

07.01.2022 What does buying Halloween chocolate have to do with building and promoting your personal brand on LinkedIn? If you're like me, you buy bags of Halloween treats every time you see them on display at the supermarket. But if I don't see them, I don't buy them. It's the same in business. If your ideal client doesn't see you, or get to know you and what you can do for them - how will they know that you exist or where to find you?... I get it, it is scary to 'put yourself out there' - there could be stalkers!! But those professional, business stalkers are consuming your content, getting to know, like and trust you, so that you can engage with them to help them improve their life or business. In this article, I've outlined a great example of how 'putting yourself out there' attracts your ideal customer in a way that is authentic and showcases the value that your customers derive from working with you.
