Welcome to Episode 230 of Building My Legacy.

Are you using LinkedIn to generate leads and build your business? Are you getting the results you want? In this podcast LinkedIn expert Janice Porter explores relationship marketing and outlines for us the process she recommends to build connections, stay connected and be remembered. Janice has successfully married online lead generation with effective offline follow-up communication to build long-term relationships and ultimately increase sales. “We like to do business with people we know and trust,” Janice explains. And, by using LinkedIn as a tool for building referral business and her customized photo postcard program to stay in touch, businesses can put relationship marketing to work for them.

So if you want to know:

  • The importance of having a fully optimized LinkedIn profile
  • Why you need to do your homework before you try to connect to someone
  • How a well-timed postcard can catch your prospects “off guard,” show that you appreciate them and move the recipients “from head to heart”
  • The difference between being a transactional person and having a longer-term vision
  • The advantages of sending video messages on LinkedIn
