Episode 106 Show Notes

I'm speaking with the Dopamine Dealer of Linked In - Joshua B. Lee who is well seasoned in online advertising. He currently owns StandOut Authority which brings human components back to the face of marketing. They specialize in personal branding and success utilizing LinkedIn

Despite the fact that LinkedIn has been in use for over 15 years, current data shows that the platform is on the up and providing the next great space for business connections. 

Building relationships with your audience on LinkedIn may seem like a daunting task, but it’s really no different from building real-world relationships. Engaging in the content of your audience is easily achieved by leaving comments that show that you value what they have to say and by sending messages as they relate to content posted. 

The future of sales and the opportunity to be a thought leader on LinkedIn is happening right now and you’ll want to be on the bus before the platform takes the next leap that Josh insists will blow your mind.
