Why is LinkedIn essential for your business?

First of all, before talking about a LinkedIn coach, it’s important to understand how LinkedIn is the platform to invest in for your professional needs.

a- A planetary impact

First, let’s look at LinkedIn from a statistical perspective. The numbers that relate to the use of LinkedIn around the world are inspiring. Across the globe, more than 660 million users are present on the social network. For France, these figures are also telling: 64% of the French working population is on LinkedIn, and 92% of recruiters use the social network to find collaborators (Source: LinkedIn key figures ).

Second, let’s talk about LinkedIn from a societal perspective. For several years, professional habits have changed. The arrival of the Internet in the early 2000s in homes has upset the codes, and has spread to the professional level. More recently, in the 2010s, social networks have become absolutely essential. Now, consumers are researching social media before they buy, and are giving growing credit to what’s going on.

Very different from Facebook or Instagram, LinkedIn has positioned itself in the professional niche. The average age is higher there than on other social networks (around forty years), and has put forward a modern sales technique: the social selling .

b- Exceptional potential

Whatever your goal ( find a job , new customers, recruiting, etc.), social selling is the art of selling and selling yourself to your target audience through social networks.

Do you want to prospect effectively? LinkedIn will make you visible to your target audience.

Are you looking for talent? LinkedIn will connect you with those who matter in your industry.

The opportunities on LinkedIn are huge. But, like everywhere, it is essential to work, to improve oneself and to learn to be able to benefit from it. LinkedIn is not magic. Thus, coupled with your desire to evolve and your own talents, the network is a real springboard .

A LinkedIn ™ coach, is it necessary?

LinkedIn has many advantages. However, if we had to give it a fault, it would be its complexity of use, for those who do not know the hidden features and the scope of its potential. It is mistakenly thought that LinkedIn is just a social network where posting your professional experience on your profile will be sufficient.

Choosing the right LinkedIn coach: tips

After thinking about the immense opportunities of LinkedIn, you have decided: you are going to hire a LinkedIn coach. Well done ! It’s a great investment, which will help you evolve and grow professionally.

But beware ! For your approach to be successful, you must choose the right LinkedIn coach, the one who will help you, understand you, create a tailor-made program adapted to your expectations. You and your LinkedIn coach will be working together for a while. It is therefore essential that the current passes, and that its work is of quality.

You will find many LinkedIn coaches by doing a simple search on the web. Some are serious and effective, others less so. To help you tell the difference between real experts and “dream sellers,” here are some tips dedicated to finding the perfect LinkedIn coach.

a- The relational and human aspect: a condition sine qua non

Let us start from a simple observation: the professional world is a patchwork of encounters and human relations which form the basis of success and progress, on both sides. Indeed, quality human exchanges are a guarantee of productivity, results and positivity. It is therefore essential that your LinkedIn coach is someone with whom contact seems natural, easy and consistent.

This is why a good LinkedIn coach is aware of this aspect. He must, on his own, interact with you in an honest manner. Cordiality, honesty, politeness and positivism are the strong pillars of a professional relationship worthy of the name. To verify this, there is only one solution: make contact.

The reception, whether physical, telephone or electronic, must be pleasant and benevolent. The LinkedIn coach must be interested in you and your projects to build an effective relationship start. The current flows ? That’s great ! You have already validated a very important aspect of your future partnership.

b- The experience of your LinkedIn coach

Obviously, your LinkedIn coach must be experienced in his field! To verify this point, a search on the internet should already give you a lot of information.

A good LinkedIn coach is on the web, and information about their experience and work should be easily searchable. A website, a blog, a YouTube channel are all elements to browse to gauge its experience and its services.

But the most important thing is to go to the coach’s LinkedIn profile! This is the most important element. After all, LinkedIn is his business tool, and the cornerstone of everything he does. Be curious and go visit him to read his recommendations, and see if by reading his summary you will intuition to do business with a real professional.

LinkedIn coaching is not an ordinary purchase. I invite you to select a person who has experience and results. You will get straight to the point, the coach will understand your market and will have already improved, perfected his practice over the years.

c- The opinions and recommendations of your LinkedIn coach

An effective LinkedIn Coach is a LinkedIn Coach who has positive customer reviews and recommendations. Social selling has highlighted the ability of consumers to go and seek information themselves. So do the same!

Reviews and recommendations are precise indicators of the professionalism of your LinkedIn coach. That way, go check them out. However, be vigilant and check the identity and profiles of people who shared their point of view. If the reviews seem honest and reliable to you, you can undoubtedly consider that the LinkedIn coach is a serious person, whose results are proven.

Real, verifiable recommendations are a good way to judge the quality of a coach. Are you going to entrust your strategy to a LinkedIn coach who has been on LinkedIn for 2 weeks or to someone who has dozens of returns from satisfied customers who have had results?

d- Likelihood: important point for your LinkedIn coach

In all likelihood, we are talking about the fact that the LinkedIn coach should NOT “sell you the dream”. If on your LinkedIn coach’s profile or website you find a plethora of offers that are too good to be true, be careful. A LinkedIn coach is not a magician, and should not promise you to earn 100,000 euros in a week by subscribing to one of its offers.

Many bad guys take advantage of LinkedIn users’ inexperience to extract money from them and sell them interest-free training. Don’t fall for the trap. To ensure the quality of the offers of a LinkedIn coach, the latter must clearly specify in his documentation that social selling or work on LinkedIn is the result of a medium and long-term commitment.

Without regularity, hard work, and motivation, you won’t get the results you hope for. The LinkedIn coach is aware that his expertise will make your success if and only if it is coupled with an effort on your part, an effort resulting from unfailing motivation and a desire to succeed in your process.
