Zale Tabakman

Professional services firms like yours see the size and the impact of Social Media but don’t understand how it can be used to grow their business locally, nationally or internationally. Typically to the professional its new and so very different than your current method of connecting with clients. You have probably received invitations from friends, co-workers, and clients an fell it represents a great opportunity, but don’t know get how to leverage it.

After enough time, you have registered on a site like LinkedIn and explored it. After spending time on the site and after connecting with a few more people, you should have thousands of connections around the world, but they then you get stuck. You see people and the opportunity, but don’t get how to convert the opportunity into real business.

By connecting with Zale on LinkedIn you will over 2,000,000 connections. Every country in the world is represented and you will have several connections with almost any company of significance. That is just from Zale, include the connections with those family, friends, colleagues and clients and you will quickly have over a network of over 5,000,000 connections.

Now let’s play with numbers for a few minutes. While, I don’t know your specific numbers, I do know that most professional services firms are comfortable with projects worth $100,000. Assume for arguments sake that you are personally responsible for generating 10 projects of this size in a year. Certainly with 5,000,000 people their must be at least 10 projects.of 100,000 that you should be able to find.

To be successful, you need to learn how to find those 10 projects in the 5,000,000 people you are connected to in LinkedIn. Zale, would like to teach it to you.  He would like to show you how to find those projects. He has created a short course that explains what you need to know about LinkedIn. And like LinkedIn there is no charge what so ever for the training.

Why does Zale teach the course for free then? Zale is an entrepreneur and is always looking for opportunities to expand his network. By teaching you how create business opportunities with LinkedIn, Zale believes new business opportunities will come his way. It happens every time.

• Susan Stephen, Account Executive, NOREX, Inc on September 25, 2008
  “I have been recently introduced to Zale Tabakman through the LinkedInCanada. I am located in Minneapolis, MN and travel to British Columbia and Alberta every month. My goal is to meet IT professionals who understand that it is impossible to stay on top of new technology and the power of collaboration in an open, unbiased enviroment, to learn best practices from each other is a valuable tool for everyone in all industries and sectors. Zale invited me to attend a “Best Practices” session with recommendations how to better use LinkedIn. My colleague and I gleaned some valuable suggestions. Our organization is on a ramp up curve using Linkedin as a new contact tool and we have had some internal “lunch & learns” to share best practices, how we have been using it and better ways to use this ever evolving tool. It’s very exciting and I agree with Zale “there are good ways and bad ways to use LinkedIn”. My take away, is to add to my profile about my interests and goals so others will feel comfortable and confident that I have their best interests in mind to help them become more productive and successful.”

• Roberta Shafto, Director, New England Life on September 24, 2008
  “We like to call Zale is the “Houdini of Motivation”. Why do I say that? He has somehow managed to eek out more productivity in a 24 hour day than most people can in a full week (including the weekend). Even more important is Zale’s ability to inspire others to find the energy and faith balance needed to give their own lives, both personal and professional, a turbo charge. What’s amazing is that living a fuller life becomes easier and following Zale’s techniques becomes an unconscious ritual after a while.”

• Arne Pohlman, Managing Director, FocusEconomics on September 19, 2008
  “I know Zale as a person who generously shares his vast knowledge about LinkedIn. I greatly appreciate his inspiring advice and look forward to learning more from Zale in the future.”

• Eric Zigelman Senior SAP Staffing Consultant at The Addmore Group “on September 15, 2008
  “Zale was able to provide me with some very strategic consulting advice on how to hire and place elite SAP talent across the country with my present employer [Addmore Group - eric@addmoregroup.com - (416) 433-7812]. He was specifically able to offer me expertise insight in how to tackle the SAP market from both a full time and contract perspective. Since speaking with Zale my confidence and personal numbers have sky rocketed.”

• Pradyumna Chaudhuri, Director – Technical Communication, Interra Information Technologies Inc. (InterraIT) on September 11, 2008
  “Have been an ardent follower of Zale’s zeal and infectious energy. I have been a LinkedIn fan and user for a few years and have been continuously trying to increase my network. Have learned loads from his insights and his mails have helped me redirect my effort towards enabling success to happen! Have gone through his site www.ZaleTabakman.ca and many articles that he has selected and recommended. His commitment and his effort to walk his talk is highly appreciated. Thanks for making a huge difference Zale!”

I would like to bring Zale in to teach you how all about using LinkedIn for your professional services firm. As I said above, there is absolutely no charge or obligation for the seminar. We just want you to meet you and let you meet Zale.

During the seminar which takes about 1 hour (depending on questions) he will cover the following things in depth.

• Why LinkedIn Can Generate Business For Your Firm
• How LinkedIn works from a business point of few
• Seven ways to LinkedIn can be used to generate business

BE AWARE! Zale will not be showing any screen shots nor show you how to push the buttons to use LinkedIn. As a profession, he assumes you know how to do that. If not, we suggest you get your IT person to do that.

Please call Susan Sparkes at 416-662-3784 to arrange a time for your firm to view Seven Steps To Generate Business With LinkedIn in your office.

We require a minimum of 10 people to present. You may invite clients and or colleagues to the presentation. The presentation will be a maximum of one hour.

Because my online business runs virtually on automatic pilot these days, I will have the freedom to travel to Japan this December to visit my daughter who is teaching high school there. Since my products are downloadable, maintaining my business and dealing with any customer service issues from Japan will be a simple matter of checking my e-mail accounts via the Net once a day.
