“Linkedin Continues to Bring Great Results”

 

As of this morning, I have 1,986 connections and over 120 recommendations.

 

To me it continues to be instant credibility and saves so much time. Here is a perfect example.

 

I was at motor vehicle on Saturday to turn in a set of plates. I got their early before it opened and while in line I started talking to the person next to me. He was sharing about an issue he was having to register a pickup he purchased out of state.

 

I asked him what he does for a living and of coursed he asked me the same. I told him I give money away. Wow, that must be a great business he said. After some back and forth banter, I shared with him that I was in the mortgage business. He asked me what my rate was for a 15 year mortgage, so I told him 3%. Points he asked, I answered none. He asked if I had a business card and asked for his as well.

 

When I got him online and found his Linkedin page. Did a little reading up on him and his business.

 

Monday morning I got an email from him, in which he told me that he got his pickup registered. Then again asked me a number of additional mortgage questions.

 

I responded to his questions and gave him my link to my Linkedin page, and asked him to feel free to check me out.

 

Later that afternoon, I got an email from his asking when he and his wife could come in to do a mortgage application and mentioned how impressive my recommendations were.

Nice amount of views Joe, but I certainly think your engaging people in conversation and taking a genuine interest in them and their life is key in a service based industry.  I see your story as a started off right and followed through with Linkedin just being part of it along the way.

Joe, I have a Linkedin page but do very little with it.  That is something that I need to change and better utilize Linkedin.  People tell me all the time that it is a good tool and you just gave a good example of that.

Joe: It is good for us to be out there in many sites and certainly Linkedin is one of them. But it doesn't do any good unless you can "close the deal" as you did with your winning personality and business accumen, of course.

Joe, this is such a wonderful example of how to use an online presence in social media to validate the value that we bring to a transaction and give a prospect the confidence to ask us to do business with them.

Joe,

That's a great story! I've been a member of LinkedIn for about 10 years now and I'm happy with it too. This is a great success story. You always have a way of making people feel comfortable, your extremely smart at what you do and you treat people right. When it comes to me and my money, there's no one I'd rather trust than you. You have proven credibility.
