With the final 2014
quarterly LinkedIn results just published on February 5th 2015 it’s clear to see why LinkedIn
and its hugely profitable business model is such a super success.
I believe it’s so
successful that every other business owner can learn how to grow their own
profitable business by mirroring some aspects of the LinkedIn business model.
Halleluiah, take it as a Linkedin sign because once again – here
they grow again.
Savvy investors know that
when a business consistently grows with wildfire proportions, while
continuously innovating and still generating huge profits that it’s a virtual
Blue Chip investment.
Why is Linkedin so
successful?
And more important, how
does LinkedIn continue to fuel its exponential business growth by effectively
leveraging the business members and advertisers who pay to be part of their
growth drivers?
Because when you drill
down, its LinkedIn members paying for premium memberships and recruitment
related activities that are generating a substantial amount of the Linkedin
revenue.
It’s a fantastic business
model and it’s wise for every business owner to understand why and how business
connections keep the Linkedin platform growing year on year. Because when you
understand this lucrative business concept you can begin to leverage LinkedIn
for your own business growth and revenue generation.
And the best bit of it
all, is that it doesn’t matter how niche sector your business is, or where you
are geographically located on planet Earth, everything and everyone you need to
grow any business exists on Linkedin.
So why do businesses keep
the platform growing?
Businesses can leverage a great deal from Linkedin
regardless of their size, or how long they have been in business. Many
companies including Linkedin consultancy firms have materialised just to
provide business owners with a Linkedin consultancy and/or a LinkedIn training service specifically related to
growing profitable businesses.
The very best ways to
access insider secrets and tactics utilised by these Linkedin consultancy
agencies is to follow their LinkedIn company page, or to read their Linkedin
case studies on their web sites. Alternatively if they list a LinkedIn expert
in their team then visit their Linkedin blog.
If you require a more hands on managed Linkedin
consultancy, or you want to hire a Linkedin expert or a Linkedin
speaker to motivate your staff then visit the LinkedIn Expert’s Expert at www.elinked.eu
One thing is gospel. It’s
never been a better time for business owners to piggy back on the LinkedIn
platform to increase sales of their products and/or services.
Linkedin Sign…Here They Grow Again #1 New Business
Connections Every Day
With the constant growth
of Linkedin, it’s becoming increasingly easier to develop new Linkedin business
connections for any company. Every Linkedin member can aspire to adding the
maximum number of 30,000 first level business connections on their profile. For
businesses employing more than one employee, a Linkedin expert or a
professional Linkedin speaker would recommend a profile for each employee, or
at the very least, one for each department of the company.
By following the advice
of a proven Linkedin expert any organisation should be able to add new
productive business decision making connections every day. A Linkedin
consultancy firm would advise their clients to keep adding and refreshing their
business connections.
I personally agree with a
recently published Linkedin training provider who was a firm advocate of
deleting any under performing or inactive LinkedIn connections.
Every Linkedin expert’s
expert I’ve ever spoken to seem to agree that sending out the maximum of 70
connection requests a day in order to support your business growth, is a
productive business growth task. Of course Linkedin is filled with business
minded professionals from various different sectors and with hundreds of
millions of them there is no lack of productive connections to be identified.
Linkedin Sign…Here They Grow Again #2 Successful Sales Funnel
And Lead Generation Pipeline
It is common knowledge
and cited in many Linkedin case studies, that every member on Linkedin is
trying to sell something. Be it conventional sales companies promoting their
products, to Linkedin consultancy firms trying to sell their LinkedIn expert
services. Even Job seekers are trying to sell something, usually themselves and
their skills. Therefore it makes great marketing sense to use Linkedin to add
sector specific individuals and businesses to your sales funnel.
Any Linkedin speaker will
highlight the importance of the platform for any business owner looking to
develop a successful sales funnel and lead generation pipeline. And every good
Linkedin expert knows that creating a sales funnel and lead generation pipeline
on the platform will support successful profitable business growth.
Achieving sustainable
business growth through developing new sales and leads on Linkedin has the
added value benefit of huge numbers of fresh new business decision making
members joining the LinkedIn platform every day of every week.
Visit any Linkedin
consultancy or any LinkedIn Expert’s Expert profile and you will quickly get a
sense it is relatively simple to create and maintain a productive sales funnel
and lead generation pipeline filled with new prospective business clients and
customers. My published Linkedin case studies, and many articles listed on my
Linkedin blog demonstrate that Linkedin is the perfect facilitation tool for
leveraging revenue generation streams from this dynamic business platform.
Linkedin Sign…Here They Grow Again #3 New Job Prospects And
Pathways
Linkedin has opened business growth doors that have never
been leveraged before and it’s not just by improving how business owners and
companies network and expand. Linkedin have also developed a new sector of
business, specifically catered to their platform. From Linkedin consultancy
firms offering clients, to hire a Linkedin expert, to a LinkedIn speaker encouraging employees to gain valuable
Linkedin training.
Not all business owners
who are already using the platform know how to fully utilize every aspect of
it, so this is where Linkedin consultancy firms come into play. For those
businesses that don’t have the time to spend on the business social media
platform they can now hire a Linkedin expert to remove all of the anxieties and
hassle out of business networking on Linkedin.
For those businesses
unsure of how to use Linkedin, or how the platform can actually be beneficial
to them, a Linkedin speaker can be called in to inspire and provide some
understanding about the platform. He or she might even recommend professional
Linkedin training from a qualified Linkedin expert. With this training it
becomes possible for all businesses to understand and leverage every aspect of
Linkedin.
None of these new job
prospects and pathways would have been possible without the creation of the
Linkedin platform. And none of these would have been profitable and successful
if Linkedin was not growing, developing and attracting high volumes of new
business members on a daily basis.
Linkedin Sign…Here They Grow Again #4 Successful Profitable
Business Growth
There are many Linkedin
case studies and many a Linkedin blog that praise the benefits of Linkedin for
their businesses. Linkedin have new members joining every day and over 50% of
them are LinkedIn designated as business decision making professionals.
Therefore it is only logical that business owners following outsourced Linkedin
expert advice to exploit the platform to its maximum commercial advantage will
achieve successful profitable business growth.
By participating in
professional Linkedin training, or by making a conscious decision to hire a
Linkedin expert it is entirely possible that every business can achieve
successful profitable business growth.
A bold statement I know,
but with the Linkedin platform presenting so many avenues to gain a commercial
and/or financial advantage, for example by leveraging the groups, business
pages, member profile and even a Linkedin blog (Pulse) how can you fail?
Linkedin experts and even
Linkedin expert’s experts know that in order to achieve profitable business
growth all these platform aspects need to be utilised daily.
