Next to the question, "What should I post on LinkedIn?" the next most popular question is, "How do I get in front of more people I want to do business with on LinkedIn?". It's no surprise, because no matter where you are in your career, building your network of relationships is an...
At McMillion Consulting, I have the opportunity to work with all types of professionals from many different industries. While much of my training centers around prospecting, selling, visibility, and business growth, I occasionally work with executives who are on the job hunt. LinkedIn...
