Alen Levis – Recrukit

Alen attended my recent Linkedin Boot Camp and here’s what he had to say…

I can’t recommend Kate highly enough. Just go and see her and you will get results from LinkedIn.

LinkedIn has become a really warm prospecting tool for me. It’s established credibility. It’s made people aware that I am a professional, not just a voice at the other end of the phone. For all they knew before when I used to cold call I was just a telemarketer. And it’s a huge database of potential leads for me that I was not really privy to before.

It has changed my life. It’s opened a lot of doors and potential opportunities that otherwise would never have existed before.  I’m excited about this year because I am thinking about the opportunities that are going to happen from the work we are going to get through LinkedIn.

I’m a huge advocate of social selling on LinkedIn now. It comes down to …you get what you put in on LinkedIn. That is the thing I would say to most people. Don’t think you are just going to hop on LinkedIn and start setting up meetings left right and centre. You actually have to put some work into it. That time investment is significant, but the return is even greater. Be prepared to put the work in and you will get the results.”

Q: What would you say to anyone who says wow 5 sessions seems like a lot? Can I afford that time?

I think 5 sessions is just the right amount. I think LinkedIn is a lot more complicated than most people realise. There is actually a lot going on inside that platform. It’s not one of the social media products that you can learn in one night. It does take a bit of time to navigate and then absorb what you are learning. So I think 5 sessions was really, really good.  Any less and I think you would have been left wanting.
