Are you in? (Linkedin)
I’m in. Are you? For the past year or so, I’ve been a participant in the fastest growing on-line business network on the web. But, I was only dipping my toe. While I joined Linkedin at the invitation of a friend, I hadn’t taken the time to really understand its real value. In fact, I didn’t even know how the service actually worked.
It sounded cool – just post my profile, invite others to link to me, and before long I’d be connected to a huge network of business people. Then what? That’s what I learned last Friday, when I met Mike O’Neil, one of the top Linkedin members and a trainer on how to get the most from a Linkedin account.
The Linkedin system offers such potential it’s hard to explain. Let’s just say, Linkedin has become an employee recruting tool, a powerful sales and marketing aide, a global social organization, an information gathering gold mine, and on, and on – limited only by the imagination of its users.
It’s free. It’s growing. It’s the standard for on-line business networking. It’s time. Join at www.Linkedin.com.
If you are in Northern Colorado, I highly recommend several upcoming classes being conducted by Viveka von Rosen, General Manager at The Executive Center. She’s got this stuff down cold and teaches others how to make the most of Linkedin. Check out Viveka’s Linkedin profile today.
P.S. After you join, invite me to your network. I’d like to share my network with you!

Hi Phil
As you know, I am a big proponent of linkein too. I have 530+ links. It has lead me to have coffee with others locally, and I did a book review for a guy in California. I love it.
Thanks for spreading the word.
