Does anyone use LinkedIN?
« on: November 20, 2007, 07:55:04 AM »
I've been using LinkedIn for about a year now and had some moderate success developing new business. Does anyone else use it as a networking tool?

I am a member and use it to keep up with ex-co-workers and such.

I have never had a need to use it but it is a good way to keep a business network of references.

I use it.  I'm amazed at how many people contact me through LinkedIn.
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

I've been using LinkedIn for a couple years.  As an IT recruiter it's a great way to get names and titles of individuals, both as sales and recruiting leads.  I would highly recommend it to anyone in a sales related position.

Is it free?  I do sales for the company my wife and I own.  She does the business end of it and I do all the sales.

It is free, and very easy to get set up.

I'm on it also...  only for about a month or so though, so there hasn't really been any leads yet.  You can search for me using my name:  Robert Zilch or company: Chessieview Services, Inc
