Today I have the privilege of speaking to Joanne Funch.

JoAnne has worked with hundreds of small business clients since establishing her marketing business in 1996.

In 2007 JoAnne relocated from California to Minnesota. Not knowing anyone in the business community she utilized LinkedIn to reach out and build a network of colleagues and clients.

Since that time, she has served as the LinkedIn workshop trainer for the University of Minnesota, Business & Economic Development Department, a guest presenter and speaker for organizations and conferences locally and nationally.

She has had the privilege of working with Fortune 100 & 500 companies as well as hundreds of entrepreneurs including the largest dairy farmer in Saudi Arabia, helping them to build powerful LinkedIn profiles and implement strategies to leverage the platform.

JoAnne loves to teach and empower others to take control of their social footprint and invest in their professional relationships. This conversation is all about networking, how important it is and how to go about it. I’m super excited about this conversation as I think networking is an essential ingredient of success.
