 Social Media is not just for party and puppy pics anymore. A
 quick Google search tells me that there are 65 million members
 on LinkedIn in over 200 countries. Fortune 500 Executives use
 LinkedIn and there are over 14 million unique vistors monthly.

 when LinkedIn has been around business longer than both of
 them and will probably result in a smaller but much more qualified
 pool of contacts.

 LinkedIn is primarily only business related so it only draws the
 people who want to do business, and if you check out the de-

 going to be your higher net worth people. Yet we spend more

 your key terms and see what you get.

Bill is an NLP specialist. He can teach you how to speak the language
of the banks, the homeowners, and the buyers…In other words:
He can make you wealthy!
You will learn:

      What to say to the banks to get your short sale package to the
       top of the heap
      What to say when the bank says no
      How to get the bank to work with you even when your home-
       owners are in bankruptcy
      How to get your homeowners to sign contracts on the first
       meeting
      What paperwork to use to make every deal “air tight”
      Learn the “little known” Bankruptcy Short Sale
      How to negotiate when buying notes
      How to automate your communication system
      And much, much more!

With everyone offering you the next, best, “make a million dollars while
you sleep” program – people have forgotten that this is a people busi-
ness and without the proper COMMUNICATION SKILLS you are
dead in the water!
Unless you are closing 75% or MORE of your short sales, you must
attend this TWO-DAY WORKSHOP. This is not a sell-a-thon, it is Bill Twyford teaching you for TWO SOLID
DAYS! Please bring a calculator, a good attitude, and come with an open mind. We guarantee that you will
learn more in these TWO DAYS than any other workshop you have ever attended!

  • 20. Build your Sales Contacts with LinkedIn Social Media is not just for party and puppy pics anymore. A quick Google search tells me that there are 65 million members on LinkedIn in over 200 countries. Fortune 500 Executives use LinkedIn and there are over 14 million unique vistors monthly. Many of may be working hard to master Facebook and twitter, when LinkedIn has been around business longer than both of them and will probably result in a smaller but much more qualified pool of contacts. Facebook users are our friends and kids and everyone else. LinkedIn is primarily only business related so it only draws the people who want to do business, and if you check out the de- mographics of people on both sites, more people on LinkedIn are going to be your higher net worth people. Yet we spend more time creating the best marketing photo for our Facebook timeline than we do on our entire LinkedIn Profile. So while you read this, go to your computer and log on to LinkedIn we will have some steps we want you to take. First think about YOUR industry, what ever it is and come up with some terms that YOU think people would search for if they were looking for a service provider in your industry. On LinkedIn in the upper right hand corner you will find a search box. You can search People, Jobs, Companies and more, do a quick search for your key terms and see what you get. So we all are looking at similar information, next search for kansas city real estate investment, if you mix the words up a bit you will get similar but different results. Why? Because each person that Headline” that includes some or all of your key words.

So again use your key on the list two days ago, and I went in and tried some of these tips words. on his profile and now he is coming up higher. Then we jump to Experience.
