1 PERSONAL BRANDING SOCIAL SELLING

2 WELCOME BACK Managing your digital footprint Pictures & words Marathon, not a sprint Define your brand LinkedIn and Twitter

3 WHAT YOU LEARNED Coming up with 'key' descriptive words about yourself, and putting them into an elevator pitch - also, the importance of having these adjectives added to your LinkedIn profile. Putting together a LinkedIn profile that was actually enticing and interesting Importance of the Summary on LinkedIn That we are not alone! That creating a personal brand doesn't have to be intimidating, you just need to buckle down, which your exercise's made me do. It was a great way to eliminate the 'background noise' that happens when I overthink. About laying the foundation for an authentic, impactful profile that inspires and attracts like-minded people to want to get to know me and what my value offering is. How to set up my Linked-In Page and the importance of both Linked-In and Twitter!

4 WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW The best approach to reaching out to potential LinkedIn contacts What is a realistic expectation for bringing in new clientele? I LOVED your explanation of social selling, it made everything fall into place. I tend to overthink! Thanks ladies! Managing all the information that comes to you via social media; learning how to sift out what is important for me. I find myself often spending way too much time just trying to find what's relevant for me. How to use these platforms to attract clients

5 SOME OF YOU JUMPED RIGHT IN And there were more.
