Client Feedback
The team learned a great deal from Rich's LinkedIn coaching session. From understanding the basics through to advanced features most of us were not aware of. The session was thought-provoking and engaging. I would highly recommend Rich to coach your team on the key aspects of LinkedIn and how to get the most benefit from it.

How do I improve my LinkedIn Profile?
On your profile page, there is a progress bar that takes you through the steps to get you up to a 5 Star Profile. This takes less than 10 minutes to do and will have a big impact on your profile once completed. Here are 5 tips to improve your profile:
- Have a GREAT profile photo – you should be able to find this on your law firm website.
- Create a LinkedIn banner image, this sits behind your profile photo. If you don’t have one just ask us and we will provide one free of charge.
- Contact details – If you want your connections to contact you, make it as easy as possible. Include links to your law firm website, email address, and office phone number.
- Summary – Prospective clients want to know about you, make sure you include a clear summary with bullet points around what legal services you offer. Don’t bunch up all the text as this can be hard to read on a mobile.
- Job Title – Don’t put ‘Partner’ or ‘Director’. Instead, put how you help your clients. For example, if you are an employment lawyer explain how you help those types of clients. Avoid any of the mystic job tiles for example ‘Creator of Business and Marketing’
