Ep #6: Would you like to get notified when someone in your area is interested in your service? That’s what LinkedIn does when you are selected for their special section for professionals. 

But before you get noticed by LinkedIn and more important by the potential clients you need to make your profile stand out. 

In this episode, Gary Kissel shares how to get more clients with LinkedIn.

LinkedIn selected him as a ProFinder in the Marketing Consultant category and recommends him as a highly qualified contact to those who seek help with their business marketing. 

As a Realtor, Gary used LinkedIn to find, connect and do deals with investors around the world. And now he helps other professionals to connect with their clients through LinkedIn. He has authored more than 30 articles on LinkedIn.
