LinkedIn Strategy
Tools
I've helped several B2B CMOs
set attractive LinkedIn Company
Pages, individual LinkedIn
profiles, [plus winning a fun
contest with a fake one], shrewd
Answers, competitive
information and much more. I
am therefore occasionally asked
to present new advanced ways
to use LinkedIn. Here's a
presentation for Israeli
entrepreneurs, presented on
September 27th 2012 at Tel
Aviv's TheHive incubator
program. I also lectured at
TheJunction, IDC Elevator, and
Star-TAU. ShowToClients once
created a multimedia
presentation of an 4.10 version
here . I've presented advanced
LinkedIn tools for MBA students,

trained Entrepreneurs and
NGOs. Based on those I also
created this answer on Quora to
the question "What Makes a
LinkedIn Profile Great?".
Neighborhoodr Tel

In 3.11 I started editing the Tel

Neighborhoodr is a hyperlocal

learned a few lessons about
community building thanks to it!
