Thursday, July 10, 3-4:30 PM EST, LinkedIn® Beginner & Intermediate

Are you LinkedIn?  Do you keep getting invitations - many from people you don't know or perhaps remember?  What do you do with them after you "accept"?  Are you getting recommended by others?  Should you be?  Over 20 million users have joined LinkedIn, but many still don't know how to get the most out of this powerful platform.  During a 90-minute session, we'll review every step from how to log in and build a content-rich profile, to how to invite your most trusted relationships, answer questions, and identify valuable new relationships - in short, how to turn everyday contacts into personal and professional success.

 

Thursday, July 24, 3-4:30 PM EST, Spoke

Most business networking sites are designed to do one thing: connect the professionals who happen to be using those particular sites. But what if the person you want to connect with hasn't signed up with that site? That's when you need Spoke. With the Spoke Open Network® of more than 40 million people at 2.3 million companies its easier to make new connections as well as keeping the old ones engaged. Spoke also lets you create, customize and promote your own online profile.

 

Thursday, August 7, 3-4:30 PM EST, LinkedIn® Advanced

If you've been a LinkedIn user for some time, by now, you've figured out how to build:
1. A content-rich profile
2. Connect with your most trusted relationships
3. Search for people, companies, and opportunities to reach out to others.

So how do you turn those contacts into answers and revenue? This month we'll spend 90 minutes on advanced strategies including:
- The real value of premium membership
- Advanced search techniques to target your efforts
- Most compelling approaches to create access
- Highly decentralized knowledge management
- Turning answers into alliance relationships
- Due diligence best practices

 

Wednesday, August 20, 3-4:30 PM EST, Plaxo

Plaxo started with an offering to keep your address book up-to-date. Today, they securely host address books for more than 40 million people (and growing).  More recently, they’ve helped bring those address books to life with "Pulse," a different approach to social networking:  it is not a place to see how many online "friends" you can collect. It’s meant to be a better way for you to stay in touch with the people you actually know and care about. It’s a dashboard for seeing what the people you know are creating and sharing all over the open web. You can hook your Pulse account up to all the places where you create or share stuff (your blog, Flickr, Twitter, Yelp, and more than 30 other sites).

Wednesday, September 24, 3-4:30 PM EST, Corporate Blogging Best Practices

Blogs have become one of the hottest communication tools on the Web. Offering the opportunity for anyone to interact, engage, influence, persuade, and encourage opinions regarding a common mission, vision or enemy!  Early newsgroups have evolved into sophisticated, often highly influential social networks.  Blogs have extended their reach and applications into the corporate and government sectors as well. What started out as an outlet for teenage expression and grassroots journalism has turned into corporate blogging as an art and a science.  Focused on accomplishing business objectives, “best practices” have emerged to ensure individuals, teams and organizations reap maximum benefits from this medium.
