Maximizing LinkedIn for Business Growth, Updated and Expanded: A Practical Guide to Building Your Brand and Driving Results - Hardcover

by Neal Schaffer (Author)

LinkedIn has over one billion users. But most professionals are still treating it like a digital resume-uploading their work history, connecting with a few colleagues, and hoping opportunities magically appear.

They don't.

Maximizing LinkedIn for Business Growth shows you how to transform LinkedIn from a passive profile into an active engine for building your brand, attracting clients, and creating real business opportunities.

This updated and expanded 2nd edition delivers 70% more content than the original, with new chapters and strategies specifically designed for today's LinkedIn-including how to leverage AI without losing your authentic voice.

What You'll Learn:

• Optimize your profile to get found by the right people
• Create content that builds thought leadership and drives engagement
• Generate leads through social selling without being pushy
• Turn connections into genuine professional relationships
• Navigate LinkedIn's free vs. paid features to maximize your ROI
• Use AI tools strategically with the exclusive ASKNEAL(TM) Framework
• Build a personal CRM system so opportunities don't slip through the cracks

This isn't theory. It's a practical, step-by-step playbook built from 15+ years of hands-on LinkedIn experience, refined through speaking in front of thousands, a decade of corporate trainings and teaching hundreds of professionals at UCLA Extension and Rutgers Business School, and battle-tested with real clients.
