How to become Linkedin celeb


I was talking to my wife and telling her about how many appearances I get per week now on Linkedin and she told me that I have become a LinkedIn celebrity, funny.

Today I looked at my stat on LinkedIn and this picture came on:
What this shows is number of times I have appeared in searches per week on Linkedin and last week was my all time high with 1976 times appeared in search and that is a quite a lot from this picture in late 2011:
The breaking point came in late September 2011 when I went from 438 times to about 916 times in mid October 2011. If we take the starting point 438 and look at the current one 1976 times, we are talking about 351 % increases in searches and this happen in just about 3 months.

So how did I do this, it is not such a big secret and everyone can do it them self.
  1. Improve your profile: think of your key words 3 -5 words
  2. Join groups, up to 50. Be sure to turn of the email notification that you receive from them so you will not be swamped with emails.
  3. Start discussion in groups or comment on others
  4. Start your own group that you can control and be the manager

If you are worried that LinkedIn will take too much of your time, dont worry. Allocate a certain amount of time per day or some days within the week to use for LinkedIn.

So people might ask them self, what is the point with all this. Well I tell you with LinkedIn you can find suppliers for your business needs and you can find customers and the best of all the customers can find you.

I have used LinkedIn to find suppliers within logistics, but I have also found customers through LinkedIn and some customers have found me.

The new breed of transport buyer

We have done this like this for a long time and it works and we are fine with it. This is truth today we do things over and over like we have done the past 10 or 15 years. The most common method of getting quotes for transport is by email. You send out email to all your contact and if you dont have enough contacts you just have to do with what you have. Tuff luck.

Well the times has changed, we have for some while gotten newer technology and methods on how to communicate and reach wider audience. Now it is possible to reach more contact even if we have never meet them or heard of them, how? We have such platform as Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter. There we have all the information we need, the trick is how to look for the information we need. This take some time to get use to and be good at.


So what is this new breed of transport buyer, well I will tell you it is those who utilize the social media platform such as Twitter, Linkedin and Facebook. I consider me being one of the new breed. Therefore I can tell you from my experience. When a customer or a potential customer of mine ask for price or quote for transport in places that I have not been operating I use Linkedin to find potential suppliers and find a way of getting in contact with them. Even if I have been using certain transport companies for transporting I often put the freight out on Twitter to see if I get some reaction. I have not used Facebook so much, but I believe that there are huge value of using Facebook for business if done correctly.






If you are in some groups on Linkedin such as Supply Chain Managment: we who love logistics you can post your transport request. However you have to formulate the discussion in such a way that transport companies can understand, just basic info.



The industry need to adapt to those changes, many are doing so and that is great. But the majority is left behind still using the same old meathod.

How to find your supplier via Linkedin?

It is easier than you think, and the best of all you can do it for free without spending too long time trying to google (something that I have tried before).
For those who don't have enough connection or perhaps not the right kind of connections this is can be done also. Of course if you have the right connection such in when I am looking for suppliers or service providers within logistics I first check my connection and the sector. In this case "Logistics and Supply chain" and fill the country also just to see whom I could contact.

But if you are lacking contacts then the solution for you is groups. The best thing with groups is that once you are member of a group you can contact all group members even if you are not connected with them.
The best way is to go into "advance search" on the top right corner where you can make you search fit your criteria.

Say for example you are looking for company in The Netherlands within the logistics field and you would like to talk to a sales manager.

How to do it, just put "sales manager" as a keyword, choose Neatherlands in the location and choose Logistics and Supply Chain in the industry box. Then to make sure that you get people that you can get in contact without worring of being connected you just tick "Group members". Finally you hit the search buttom on the page and boom you get a list of contact whom you see what group you are connected with them.

The last part of getting in contact with them is to go to the group that you are in togehter find the person (print out the search result) under the members of the group and simply get in contact with the person.

This method I have done myself and have been proven good and worked quite well.
