3. Hi! I’m Dennis, the Learning Maverick. I’ve
attached the 20:20 brand to no-frills, ultra-
affordable learning experiences that have
more or less 20 slides and can be reviewed
in less than 20 minutes. My hope is that
you’ll find them easy to complete when
you have a breather between
calls, customer visits, or the like.
4. I hope you’ll enjoy learning several things in
this module: that, by assigning tags to your
LinkedIn contacts, you’ll gain the ability to
“broadcast” messages easily to those
bearing one or more chosen tags; how to
add new tags; how to attach tags to
contacts; how to use tags to create a
mailing list; that you shouldn’t attach the
same tag to more than fifty contacts; and
how to add those contacts bearing any of
several different tags to a single mailing list.
I’ll get out of the way now and let my
associate, Carrie, guide you through the
module. Are you ready, Carrie?
5. Come on, Dennis, you missed your chance
to say, “Tag, you’re it!”
OK people, let’s get to work!
Think of tags as categories to which you
assign your LinkedIn contacts. One of your
contacts might be a doctor. Two might be
lawyers. A third might be both a doctor and
an Indian Chief—you get the idea.
Oh, and by the way, after you’ve finished
reading the text on one of our slides, you
can click anywhere to advance to the next
slide, unless I give you other instructions.
6. You may be asking
yourself, “Self, why do I need to
use tags?”
Why??????

7. Here’s your answer…
If you’ve assigned tags to your contacts,
you can target messages to only those
contacts having certain tags. For
example, you might want to send a
message only to the 12 wizards among
your contacts. Instead of having to
write twelve messages, you can reach
them all with one. I’ll show you how to
do that in just a bit. First, I’ll show you
how to create a tag.
24. By attaching a tag to no more than 50 contacts, I’ve gained
the ability to send a message to everyone with that tag.
Of course, I’ll need to send the same message four
times, but that definitely beats having to address one
message to hundreds of individuals.
31. Thanks for completing this module. You’ve learned a lot
about LinkedIn tags: why you should use them, how to
create them, delete them and attach them to your
contacts, how to build a mailing list using them, and how
to work around LinkedIn’s “Rule of 50.”
Now I’ll turn you back over to Dennis, who has an
important message for you.
32. Nice job, Carrie!
I hope you enjoyed Carrie’s presentation. If you
did, please consider doing one or more of the
following…encourage your associates to review
it…mention it in a Linkedin or Facebook
update…tweet about it…check out our other
modules available through OpenSesame.com and
review a whole bunch of them!
