It is a database of professionals. It’s also a great way to gather information. You can choose which companies, industries and individual people to follow (like Bill Gates or Arianna Huffington etc.) Many smart and successful people write articles on LinkedIn, and you can follow them and comment/discuss their posts. You’ll be better informed about what’s going on in your industry and the industry of your ideal, favorite and most profitable clients. A SCORE webinar.
