    Key Learning Points
    1. Your personal LinkedIn profile is more important than your company page.

    2. Connections should be based on quality, not quantity.

    3. LinkedIn can work without posting—relationship-building matters more.

    4. Don't accept all invites—assess the lead before connecting.

    5. Vanity metrics (likes, followers) don’t drive revenue.

    6. Use mutual connections to request introductions.

    7. End presentations with a strong message, not Q&A.

    8. “What's in it for me?” should drive your messaging.

    9. Use LinkedIn milestones (birthdays, job changes) to maintain real connections.

    10. Your LinkedIn profile needs regular feedback and updating to stay aligned with your business.
