This week's episode of Good Girls Get Rich is brought to you by Uplevel Media CEO and LinkedIn expert, Karen Yankovich. In this episode, Karen shares 3 ways to polish your virtual networking skills.

In-person networking is a great way to meet people you'd like to be connected with. But for now, until the COVID-19 pandemic passes, it's important that you polish your virtual networking skills and keep making connections. Here are three ways to get started:

Improve Your LinkedIn Profile

LinkedIn is THE place to be for virtual networking, and making great connections starts with having a great LinkedIn profile. Take a look. Does your profile make the services you offer clear? Are you taking advantage of the "About" and "Featured" sections? Is your profile picture up to date? Listen to Episode 114 for more details on how to improve your LinkedIn profile.

Look at Your Existing LinkedIn Connections

When people attend in-person networking events, oftentimes they make many great connections, but they fail to follow up with those connections. Sound familiar? Now is the time to look at your existing LinkedIn connections, rediscover those people you meant to follow up with, and get on the phone with them.

Expand Your Network

While we can't attend in-person events for now, that doesn't mean you have to stop expanding your network. You still have the power to find new connections who belong to the same groups as you. For example, if you're a member of a Chamber of Commerce, find people within that group who might be a good connection. Then, reach out to them on LinkedIn by letting them know you're part of the same group and that you'd like to connect with them.

It's more important now than ever that you polish your virtual networking skills. And as you start to use those skills, you might just be amazed at how many interesting people you'll meet.

This week's episode of Good Girls Get Rich is brought to you by Uplevel Media CEO and LinkedIn expert, Karen Yankovich. In this episode, Karen interviews Dr. Dawn Graham and discusses networking, the importance of your personal brand, and how these things relate to switching jobs.

Switching jobs is becoming a common habit in our modern world. Oftentimes, it's a good thing, too! Dr. Dawn Graham teaches how to properly make a job switch. Networking and your personal brand are two important factors in a successful switch.

Networking

Years ago as the internet was becoming more popular, networking online was easy and convenient. Fast forward to today, we're bombarded with information everywhere we look. Online networking is still very useful and effective… if done properly.

To make online networking effective, you need to connect on the human level. To make this happen, if you do great work, you must be genuine with others and let your true self shine. Then comes the follow up. Following up with your connections is necessary to make your online networking efforts effective.

Personal Brand

A brand isn't just for businesses and products. It's for you too. Many people are scared to display themselves as their own brand, but if you don't have a strong personal brand, you might get overlooked.

What exactly is a personal brand? It's who you are and how you present yourself to others. You might work for corporate, but what is it about you that makes you unique? The attributes that make you stand apart are what make you who you are and what make up your personal brand.

When you're looking to make a job switch, you want to make sure you're noticed and taken seriously. This starts by networking effectively and building your personal brand. And once you're finally ready to make the switch, Dr. Dawn shares with you what you should do to make the switch successful in her book Switchers: How Smart Professionals Change Careers and Seize Success.

Are you stuck at home amid the coronavirus pandemic? Now is the perfect time to take a look at your LinkedIn profile and make sure it's reaching its maximum potential. Here are 3 ways you can improve your profile:

Your Profile Header Image

The header image is one of the first things people see when they visit your LinkedIn profile, and you need to make sure it shows who you are, what you do, and what you have to offer. Use it to show the world what product you sell. Update it to promote your upcoming event. Tell your fans how they can subscribe to your email updates. There are many ways to make the header image work for you… use it to your advantage!

Your "About" Section

The "About" section of your LinkedIn profile is a tool to show others what you're all about. Don't be shy! Tell others all about yourself and what you do. The more information you share about yourself, the better search results you'll get on Google… more visibility!

Your "Featured" Section

The "Featured" section, which used to be the "Media" section, is a new update on LinkedIn. This section allows you to feature what's important to you. Have an event coming up? Add it to your "Featured" section. Just released a podcast episode? Share it in "Featured." Use this section of LinkedIn to promote what's important to you.

As we're all stuck at home with little to do, take advantage of this extra time, update your LinkedIn profile, and reap the benefits!

This week's episode of Good Girls Get Rich is brought to you by Uplevel Media CEO and LinkedIn expert, Karen Yankovich. In this episode, Karen interviews Suzanne Evans and discusses the importance of change and work ethic in business growth.

The goal of your business should be to grow, and two important catalysts that bring business growth are change and work ethic.

The Importance of Change

As the world changes, so should your business. When you started out, maybe your client market was different. The economy was probably different. The niche you filled in the market has also most likely shifted. You probably learned what does and doesn't work for your business.

Shifting your business to meet demands is important. Without doing this, your business will become outdated. Your business needs to stay current with the times and demands of clients.

Work Ethic

Growing a business, often, is difficult. Even if you love your business and love what you do, that doesn't mean it's easy. Business growth requires a lot of time and effort. You know what they say… nothing good ever comes easy.

Success might not come easy, but that doesn't mean it isn't fun! With a strong work ethic, you will achieve much higher goals at a much faster pace than those who only put in half the effort.

There is a lot to learn and figure out in a business journey, but with an openness to change and a willingness to work hard, you will set yourself up to achieve your business goals!

We're experiencing an unprecedented time as the Coronavirus (COVID-19) stops the world in its tracks. It's important that you know how to pivot your business during this season.

This week's episode of Good Girls Get Rich is brought to you by Uplevel Media CEO and LinkedIn expert, Karen Yankovich. In this episode, Karen discusses how you can pivot your business amid the pandemic.

We're living in an unprecedented time in our modern world as the Coronavirus stops the world in its tracks. During this season of life, it's important you pivot your business, even if it's not forever. What are some of the changes you should make? Glad you asked!

Your Responsibility

As your visibility grows, your responsibility grows. The more people that work with you, follow your program, listen to your podcast, read your blog, or follow you on social media, the greater responsibility you have to guide them through this time. You might not know it, but a lot of people who work with you or follow you look up to you… you might not even know them!

Instead of being flippant about the events around us, model what should be done for the greater good. Wash your hands, stay home as much as possible, and stay safe. Even if you're not in the high-risk category if you catch the COVID-19 virus, there are others who are. You don't want to be responsible for spreading the virus to them.

Check Your LinkedIn Profile

During this time as more people are working from home, you gain more networking opportunities. Instead of walking around the office during a break, people instead might be networking online.

Is your LinkedIn profile an accurate representation of who you are? Does it express to others how you're here to support them? As you shift your focus on how your business can be there for others amid mass quarantine, so should your LinkedIn profile.

Remember, your profile doesn't have to stay changed forever. Once the world returns to normal, so can your profile.

Focus on Supporting Your Current Tribe

Growing your network and client base is important and invaluable, but it's easy to forget about the network and clients you already have. Instead of putting most of your focus on making new connections, find new ways to support your current network connections and clients. Often, they can be our biggest assets.

Learning to adapt to the COVID-19 pandemic can be difficult, but we'll make it through this unprecedented time together.

Do you struggle with making a sales pitch and closing the sale? While you're not alone, it doesn't have to be this way.

In this episode, I had the opportunity to interview Nikki Rausch, CEO of Sales Maven. She shares with us how to use her sales process, The Selling Staircase, to make your selling efforts effective.

Your Unique Personality

An important part of the sales process is being yourself. When selling, you can't be an emotionless robot employing generalized selling tactics on potential clients.

You have to let your true self shine in order to make a connection with the person you're talking with. Otherwise, they'll see through your falsehood and lose interest in what you have to share.

Dog Calling vs. Cat Calling

A brilliant example Nikki uses when discussing how to make a sales pitch is the difference in how you call a dog versus a cat.

When calling a dog, you probably become really excited and start calling the dog in a high-pitched voice. And guess what… the dog comes! This, however, doesn't interest the cat. With the cat, you have to work on intriguing the cat if you want the cat to come to you.

Sales is similar. If you share everything about who you are and what you do with a potential client all at once without drawing them into the conversation, the potential client will lose interest. Why? Because the client is like a cat, but you're talking to them like you would talk to a dog.

Instead, slip into the conversation something they'll ask questions about. By them asking questions, you've been granted permission to share more about you and your business while making the conversation become a two-way conversation, not just a one-way.

A Gift for You

Nikki is here to support you in your sales journey. By using her 5-step sales process called The Selling Staircase, you'll learn the right way to close the sale effectively. As a gift, she's offering her book, Closing the Sale, for free to Good Girls Get Rich listeners! Download your free copy here: https://yoursalesmaven.com/gggr

Being a sales guru isn't impossible. It just takes using the right tactics that will connect with the right clients.

This week's episode of Good Girls Get Rich is brought to you by Uplevel Media CEO and LinkedIn expert, Karen Yankovich. In this episode, Karen interviews Veronique Cardon on the importance of taking care of your brain.

Veronique Cardon, the creator of the CogniDiet Program, is a holistic nutritionist who teaches others how to rewire their brains, make their brains happy, and help them lose weight naturally. She shares with us how you can take care of your brain for greater productivity.

A lot of people struggle with stress, not getting enough sleep, weight loss, and so many other things. And when people struggle with these things, it effects their productivity.

I had the great joy of interviewing Veronique Cardon and learning what practices will help us take care of our brains and be more productive.

We, as entrepreneurs, live hectic lives, so it's important we be as productive as possible. But if our brain isn't taken care of properly, our productivity will decrease. Here's what Veronique says we should do to have a healthy brain.

Nutrition

Proper nutrition is essential to a healthy brain, and a healthy brain is a happy brain. Without proper nutrition, your brain can't function at peak performance. In fact, of the most important nutrients you can give your brain is magnesium. So instead of pasta for lunch, how about a salad?

Exercise

We all know exercise keeps our bodies healthy, but did you know it also helps keep your brain healthy? One benefit of exercise for the brain is the release of endorphins. Endorphins not only make you feel good but also help your brain function better.

Sleep

Another factor in keeping your brain happy and being more productive is getting enough sleep. Sleep isn't a waste of time. It's a free way to relax your mind and recharge your body.

Without enough sleep, your brain won't function at peak performance, which means you won't reach maximum efficiency in your work.

Trouble sleeping? Exercise during the day. Exercising helps you spend enough energy during the day so you can sleep at night. Also, limit your screen time at night. The light from your phone can reduce melatonin levels, so instead of scrolling through your social feed while lying in bed, read a book or practice meditation.

As an entrepreneur, you have a lot of stress, and you need to function at maximum efficiency. The first step in achieving maximum efficiency is taking care of your brain.

108 – Learning to Embrace Yourself

Advancing in your career starts with embracing how good you are. Don't be scared to show the world who you really are.

This week's episode of Good Girls Get Rich is brought to you by Uplevel Media CEO and LinkedIn expert, Karen Yankovich. In this episode, Karen discusses embracing how good you are and the challenges that come with that.

The doors to the She's LinkedUp program were recently opened where new participants signed up for the course. The course is designed to help people achieve their business goals through the help of LinkedIn marketing.

One of the biggest challenges course participants face is embracing how good they are.

Embrace How Good You Are

Who do you view yourself as? Do you view yourself as an expert or someone who doesn't measure up?

No matter how you view yourself, you're an expert in your field, and you have to believe that! If that makes you queasy, you're not alone. But changing your mindset and viewing yourself as the expert you truly are is the catalyst that will help you achieve your business goals.

It'll be hard at first, but I believe in you, and I'm here to support you.

Don't Be Concerned What Business Peers Think

A common excuse I hear from people who are nervous to embrace their true awesomeness is being concerned what others will think about them.

But what does it matter? When someone doesn't like you for embracing yourself, they were never going to do business with you in the first place. When you show everyone how good you are, though, everyone else will also see and want to do business with you.

It shouldn't be your concern which business peers won't like you. But it should concern you that everyone else isn't getting to see what you really have to offer.

Don't Be Concerned What People In Your Personal Life Will Think

Sometimes the hardest part in letting yourself shine is worrying what the people in your personal will think. But again, what does it matter?

Your family and friends see you for who you are and love you for that. By embracing yourself, you're not changing who you are. You're simply grabbing ahold of your greatness and showing the world what you bring to the table.

Embracing yourself makes you get out of your comfort zone, but once you're out of that zone, you'll see a world full of more opportunities.
