Here are the key actionable insights from Joe Apfelbaum's LinkedIn Live session: Business Strategy & Planning: - Focus on the "how" rather than the "why" when developing business strategies - the "how" involves specific, actionable steps while the "why" is personal to each individual - Set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals rather than relying on hope as a strategy - Create a three-step signature solution framework for your business to make it memorable and easy for clients to understand (Joe's example: Branding, Building, Booming) LinkedIn Networking & Organization: - Save and categorize your LinkedIn connections into targeted lists using tools like evyAI to better manage relationships - Identify and focus on building relationships with 100 core engaged LinkedIn users rather than trying to manage thousands - Look for active LinkedIn users by checking indicators like Premium membership status, posting frequency, and engagement levels - Download your LinkedIn connections regularly to maintain an organized dashboard of your network Content Creation & Personal Branding: - Create a business networking one-sheet that clearly outlines who you are, what you do, and how you help others - Use AI tools to help draft content and professional materials more efficiently - Maintain eye contact in profile photos to create better connection with viewers - Regularly reintroduce yourself on LinkedIn with a comprehensive background story Business Development: - Use virtual assistants to handle administrative tasks (can be found through platforms like Upwork) - Implement a CRM system to track leads and manage relationships effectively - Follow up with profile viewers and maintain regular communication with connections - Create systems to automate relationship building while maintaining personal touch Tool Utilization: - Use Canva for creating and printing professional marketing materials - Leverage AI tools for content creation and automation - Utilize CRM systems for managing business relationships - Implement tools like evyAI to streamline LinkedIn networking activities

We would love to start accountability to get you a top voice badge. You can find the collaberiative articles at www.linkedin.com/advice Step 1: Pick a caegory.. For example SALES PROSPECTING. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/topics/sales-s5/sales-prospecting-s27021/ Step 2: Save the link in your bookmarks so you can focus on the SAME LINK DAILY. NOTE: You dont want to change categories each day as you will not get a badge if you do that. Step 3: Use evyAI to leave at least three contributions to collaberative articles they do not have to be in the same article but they DO have to be in the same category. Make sure to share the links to the three comments in a comment on this post so we can like them. Step 4: Do this daily for 2 weeks and watch your badge appear. This was something that 100% of our clients who tried this got their badge if they were elidgable for contributing to collaberative articles. You in?
