October 6, 2021

LinkedIn has become a great business ally for many since its birth. There are still people who doubt what LinkedIn can bring to the table. After all, why be on LinkedIn when others have billions of members or have the ability to interact with people freely. 

But there are those who have seen the value, ability and power LinkedIn has for their professional and business growth.  

Below are some of what some of them have to say. Which you can use as a subconscious reminder whenever you build your marketing strategy.

“Traditional selling channels of email and phone are tried and true, but LinkedIn and other social channels can greatly increase sales performance.”

― Ken Krogue, Co-Founder & President at InsideSales.com

A great partner for start-ups

“LinkedIn is a great place to be regardless of the size of the business, the community spirit wants to see people succeed away from the negativity of some of the other social media platforms.  As a startup Linked In accelerated our growth from a 3 person business to a 10 in 18 months.  We use LinkedIn for customers, prospects and employees.”

― Luke Runacres, Director at Leadzoom
