Today’s consumers and your prospects are looking at your online profiles. What impression are they getting about your brand?
Optimizing your personal branding for sales doesn’t have to take hours. Mark and Mario agree that you can position yourself as a person of influence in only five to ten minutes a day. Simply find content to share, engage in conversations, and give people a general idea of who you are as an individual and as a salesperson.
Here’s a few questions from Mario that you should answer in your LinkedIn Profile:
- Who do you help?
- How do you help them?
- What business problem do you solve?
- Who have you helped before?
DON’T brag on your social media profiles and be cautious about being too “salesy.” Otherwise, you WON’T attract prospects to your InMail or email inbox.
If you’re a novice to digital selling, remember that posting alone isn’t going to make sales. Digital selling is about building relationships and helping people. Don’t pigeon-hole yourself to one medium; use them all! And as Mario says, “Strive to turn every online conversation into an offline discussion.”

My LinkedIn account was ranking on the first page for best mommys blog keyword quite a few years back and I didn’t have any idea. While working, I stumbled upon the Analytic section of LinkedIn and saw that most of the visitors are coming from search engine later on I realized that in my profile I’ve used “Mommy’s blog” word a lot of time and that is the reason why it was ranking well on SERP. This is how I came to know about SEO and I was also amazed by the fact that how easy it was to rank for competitive keywords back then. Anyways loved your article and please share more tips on SEO.
Thanks for sharing. The number of times you mention a word or phrase is still a factor for sure.
