Breakfast With Champions - LinkedIn

Join us for January's Breakfast With Champions with speaker Scott Plum.  Scott is committed to helping others develop their skills and expand their strengths for a better tomorrow.  He started the Minnesota Sales Institute to teach salespeople how to shorten their sales cycle, increase their closing ratio, generate more revenue and get in front of more qualified prospects.  He will also uncover the barriers that hold salespeople back from doing what they know they should and stop doing what they know they shouldn’t.  His interactive training sessions introduce better ways of selling within the participants industries; helps them reinforce their new sales behaviors and creates the environment of learning that fosters the acceptance of change and growth.



Using Your LinkedIn Network to Ask for Referrals
So you have a great group of LinkedIn Connections, now what? We know there are more of these potential clients and referral partners out there. How can we access them? One way is by asking our current connections for introductions to the people they are connected to. This is a delicate situation and needs to be done without putting any pressure on your current connections. If done right, you could double your client base in a short period of time and increase your profit margins without investing a lot of time and money in marketing. If you are looking to increase your client base and want your current connections to introduce you to these potential clients, join us at this Breakfast With Champions! You will leave here with a knowledge on how to remove the barriers that prevent us from asking for these referrals and how you can be introduced to more of what could be some of your best clients.
