A common question I encounter is how can Linkedin generate leads? Also will it get me more sales?
The answer to both of these questions is a resounding yes.
What follows is a guideline for how to market more effectively on Linkedin.

Sales and lead generation is a multi part process but where do you begin?
Once you have optimized your profile by treating it like mini search engine you will want to start prospecting.
This will be done through the Linkedin search box

As you can see you can target a Linkedin search by multiple factors. Beyond that you can select to search for individuals who may be looking for outside help which will create even higher quality results in your leads.
You select to search by industry you want to target as well as what a individual is currently looking for.

Now I have some results I want to message. Go sell them my shit right? Wrong!, you need to start with an introductory conversation and even offer something of value. Everyone hates blind solicitations, offer value , find a pain point then discuss solutions. You will close a lot more sales in the end.

   

The running joke is you start with 2 million and although having an inheritance makes this much easier it can be done regardless of your circumstances. With that being said I take issue with the pie in the sky argument that where you start in life does not provide an economic advantage. What do Mark Zuckerberg,  and Biz Stone have in common? Neither grew up in poverty. If you can afford to go to an elite university in the top 10 you have a distinct advantage over those with less resources. This backed by countless studies and a pile of data does this mean you just give up if you grow up in extreme poverty? Of course not, rags to riches stories do indeed happen. With that being said what is your best way to become wealthy starting from scratch?
1. Save and start early. This is the easiest one to attain by smartly saving and investing as early as possible.
2. Collect real estate. Have you ever seen Monopoly? The concept is the same in real life if you collect enough real estate and generate enough cash flow wealth can be attained.
3. Start a successful business. Business ownership is one the most common forms of wealth building.
