At Exceptional Thinking, LinkedIn is our main tool for winning clients – so here are some quick tips to help you get more from it.

Make your profile work hard for you

Think of your profile like your office – would you invite a client into a messy one? Your LinkedIn should present you and your business clearly and professionally. Skip the CV-style list of achievements and focus instead on how you help clients, what makes you different, and why they should care.

Connect with the right people

LinkedIn’s search tool is powerful – use it wisely. Start broad, then refine by role, industry, or location to find the people who genuinely match your offering. When you reach out, always personalise the message – no sales pitch. Introduce yourself and aim to build a connection, not close a deal. Networking, online or in person, is about giving before taking.

Post content that adds value

Talk about your prospects’ industry, their challenges, and how you’ve helped others like them. Share insights, opinions and examples that show you understand their world. Consistency is key – post regularly, not just once in a while. Tease new content and use polls to ask your audience what they want to see next.

Engage and respond

When people interact with your content, don’t leave them hanging. Respond to comments, ask questions, and start conversations. This is where real engagement – and potential sales – begin.

Final thought…

Use LinkedIn like you would real-life networking: give more than you take, offer insight, create intrigue. Done well, it builds credibility – so when you do reach out, they already know who you are.
