There is a definite opinion I have about what you should say and do on LinkedIn. Watch this video to find out what not to do and what to do:

Beate,
Thanks for the tough love! Based on what you’re said, though, I feel good about MY profile and how I’ve reached out to current and potential clients. Now if you could just make me look more like Tom Cruise…!

Oh Rob – you look even better than Tom Cruise, what are you talking about 😉 Glad you found this video helpful.
Very well said. And yes, I do have an image that was done by a pro, though the subject could use a little help.
As usual Beate you make excellent points…..
I’ve spent a lot of time refining my profile and evaluate it once per quarter. I see LI as my professional authority/expert site and many clients have visited my profile and commented positively on it.
I actually had a professional friend shoot my profile pic and after a year I reshot as a self-portrait.
Ironically I sent out a message on LI Monday chastising many of my connections for the very same reason: either no profile pic or a very poor one.
Right on baby!
Michael
Beate, thanks for the great info. I have recently joined LinkedIn and this has helped get me going. Thanks to you I think I’m on the right track!
