I am a Full Stack Developer providing web, mobile, cloud, ai and services. How should i target, if someone wants software solutions, i want my profile to be there
Hi Chris! Thanks so much for this training! I have a question: What if your clients are much different than you so there's not much "common ground" that I connect with them over? My clients are high powered professionals over 40 who need help losing weight and living a healthier lifestyle. I'm a 27 year old nurse. You see what I mean?
Dani! Great great question. So good that I made an impromptu video that answers you directly and published it to my channel today. Here's the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-69Sz0CFQVO0.html I hope you get a ton out of it. -Chris

I LOVE that all your training videos are broken down into easy steps to follow and understand. My biggest takeaway was the importance of each of the 7 steps and how each step builds on to provide optimal results. As always, you’re a GENIUS. My gratitude to you for continuously sharing from the heart.
Hello, there are so many possible search phrases. I think I would start by exploring. What some of the questions are that people ask you on sales calls and zoom in on some key phrases within those conversations… I would probably reach out to my current clients and ask them what sort of things they're doing with digital marketing, and then you could extract some key phrases from that… Another thing you could do when someone reaches out to you for your service you can ask them what they searched for. Ultimately, there are a lot of dependencies on the type of digital marketing that you offer so doing some research should definitely help. -Chris
Great training Chris! I am so turned off by cold call sales messages on LinkedIn. This video is the perfect training on how build rapport and make sales without being that person. Value Added Content = Subscribed 👍🏽
Roz! I'm at a loss from your incredibly kind words. Thank you so much for commenting...for watching and learning...for subscribing and for being a part of what I am doing! I checked out your videos and you have a magnetic vibe! With gratitude, Chris
We provide Web solutions. Our expertise is fully customized Wordpress websites. Our audience is b2b branding, medium-big companies, with a Marketing team, that needs constant changes and a bulletproof backend (so they won’t break things while updating content and building new pages) So, Startups (mostly after ceed 1) Hi-Tech companies, etc. How can I track down the key phrases?
Superb job explaining what you do. I'll answer your question on key phrases during my Friday live broadcast on Jan 26 at 12PM ET (New York time) and I'll follow up here with a link. You can watch the live broadcast here on my RU-vid channel at that time as well.
@@ivanar4741 thank you so much for the comment… I will find a video for you… And if it isn’t current, I will record a new updated one just for you… Sound good? I’ll post a link here as a reply once I get it.
Thank you, Chris, for sharing the tips in a very succinct way. The way you explain it makes the process easier and very personable. When you talk about "search phrases", is there a specific length that you recommend?
Hi Iris, thanks for the comment and great question! I focus on "user intent" over length. What phrases are your perfect prospects searching for. With that, the more authority you build in your market, you'll start to show up in search for shorter phrases. For example, I used to focus on phrases like "how to get clients on LinkedIn for entrepreneurs." I'm now showing up for, simply, "entrepreneur" in search on RU-vid (my primary social channel). LinkedIn works the same way. Focus on user intent first. You'll win that way.
Thanks Chris, I have learned a lot today. Next step for me will be to remove connections which are not ideal clients for my services. I feel more confident that I will find clients now after watching your video . Thanks
Aubrey! This is awesome. Because you learned and applied what you learned, I'd like to give you free access to my very detailed LinkedIn Mastery course. Connect with me on LinkedIn and I'll send you a DM with access. Thank you.
I am an Amazon Virtual Assistant. Off course the Search Phrases would be Amazon Virtual Assistant, Amazon Product research, PPC management, Listing creation.etc
All very strong keywords. Here's one for you "How do I find Amazon virtual assistant?" Write articles, posts, make videos that answer that question. Google suggests that it is highly searched for. Best to you. -Chris
production company to plan, finance and execute there projects for eg photoshoot , cinematography , editing , arranging stuff for shoot, making people work together to get astonizing results
There is one confusion, why would someone get to know me when that's not about taking or giving something. ( Or should I consider it as sharing knowledge - but still there will be one thing that came up in my mind why would they like to get information if they don't have to buy.
Rehan, this is a great question. After doing this for over two decades and working with thousands of people, we always find that when you give, when you share information, when you teach, even if you feel you are giving information "they don't have to buy," you are going to get more clients. Also, it's the people who see how much you are giving that become your absolute BEST clients. Give it a try. You have my word that you'll see great results.

I think my search phrase would be 'Confectionery Copywriter'. And i'm a stark newbie to LinkedIn, thanks for this video and constructive feedback would be appreciated.
Hi Emem! A confectionary copywriter sounds like a great title. If I were mentoring you, I'd push you to explore what words your prospects are *really* using to find your services. What I'm suggesting is, are your prospect truly searing for "confectionary copywriter" or something similar or simpler. Presuming "confectionary copywriter" means you write copy for the culinary world with a focus on desserts, perhaps instead, they would search for "dessert writer" or "food writer" or "food copywriter" or similar. Do some research and ask around to get ideas. You are on the right track. If you'd like to attend a free "office-hour" to brainstorm with me, I hold Thursday from 2-3pm every week. Let me know and I'll send you an invite. Thanks, Chris
I like the idea of optimizing with your perfect prospect because many people will accept any connection requests from anyone even if they're not the perfect prospects.
Melissa, so great to see you have pinpointed the search words your clients use! I'm certain that will be helpful in people finding you for your outstanding service.
Hello, there are many ways to do that...most involve some sort of software to create the animation. I'm a big believer in paying for speed, it might make sense to look at a freelancer site and see if you can get someone to help you with this.
Totally agree, Clare...and based on generous feedback like this, I've kept the music to a minimum or removed it all together from my current videos. Thank you again for checking out my channel and my videos. Do keep in touch.
Are you rizzznnnn' me? I hope so! I'm trying to keep it mid here, thanks so much for the beautiful comment, you inspire me. Keep learning and make sure you apply what you learn! ❤
Just subscribed! Thank you for sharing this, Chris. I am an aspiring freelancer and I would love to offer my services someday. I will definitely do this step by step. Goodluck to me though. :D
Thank YOU for subscribing! Invitation: I'm currently organizing a FREE training on how freelancers can start offering their services and get clients rapidly...it's going to be invite only. Connect with me on social and I'll get you in.
Wow! Thank you so much for this wonderful comment. I'm about to launch a 5-day LinkedIn Intensive to cover the changes LinkedIn has made this year, hit me up on LinkedIn (I think we just connected) if you'd like to join...it's free.
Jenny! You have made my day today. You received this training with the exact intent that I made it. If you were the only one who got value from it, I'd consider this a win. Thank you! -Chris
@@ChrisProutyVideos Believe me, feeling is mutual. This video is so important because it sets the stage for everything else. This morning I got on LI and it was a beautiful experience. I have been searching for the right approach and who to approach to for a while.(from what I understand) the traditional methods of selling on LI make business owners, like myself, uncomfortable. I was just on the phone last week with my manufacture, who is still using a traditional LI marketing company. A while back they gave this company my information. She was so aggressive, I ended up ghosting her. Anyway, my point is, like my manufacture, we offer something meaningful. We worked extremely hard to create a product. Why do we have to cheapen ourselves and our offering and get in this desperate annoying dirty pool of “selling on LI?” While on the phone I asked them “Why are you working with a company that does not align with your selling?” And their answer: “Because there is nothing else.” That is why you are so important. I can sell to top clients with integrity. 1) you can count on me to talk to my manufacturer and everyone else about your approach to LI marketing. 2) I am just a start-up so you won’t be hearing from me until I’m ready to pull the trigger. But once I do, it’ll be with you. 3) I wish you all the success because business owners like myself need your ideas.(and how you executed them are amazing). You deserve it. I’m happy that I found you. What you say in these videos- It just makes sense. Thank you.
This was a great video. I learned a lot. But im stumped. 1. Moving the conversation off LinkedIn seems..... seedy. Like "What does he want?", "why?". Also you never outlined when we drop the sales pitch. Nobody in this busy world is going to have a GET TO KNOW YOU call with a random person that stalked them and was too freindly on LinkedIn. Please do not misunderstand this messege. You are very informative and I did learn a lot..... Just not how I get Clients. Please could you outline this part please. Thank you and keep up the awesome work.
Thanks, Sol. The most successful people I mentor realize that when you employ the strategies I teach, you get people reaching out to you to get on a call and they are ready to become clients. In other words, everything that used to be done on sales calls or intro calls happens well in advance of the call. So, for me and my mentees, our calls turn into "how do we get started" calls. That's a big difference. No one I work with stalks prospects on LinkedIn and then tries to get them on a call. In fact, it's the other way around...because of they way we present on the platform, we get a flood of people reaching out to us wishing to become clients. I hope this makes sense.
The equipment financing industry is an interesting one. Done properly, you can demonstrate ROI readily to the prospect. Help them understand the bottom line and your product and service become easier to sell. Thanks for the comment.
That's a great question, Valerie. I can provide a clear answer if you can tell me the industry you are moving away from and that which you are moving towards...
@@valeriepedraza363 I'm going to suggest the unexpected here and tell you to keep it and make a few transitional posts explaining why you are moving from one field to another. It shows range, it demonstrates that you are human...people will appreciate that. Moreover, it's who you are...THAT will attract people who are like you TO you!
I have optimized my LinkedIn profile based on your suggestions, and I have prospects who have contacted me because of it. Some of my keywords are: lead generation, lead gen, attract ideal prospects online, business growth.
Awesome Advice! As a Graphic Designer, just I'm starting. I hope to get many clients from LinkedIn. I use keywords like Logo Design, Social Media Design, Website Design, etc. Thank You! May I be right? Chris Brother!
Thanks so much for the comment my brother. Here is some advice for you. First, the keywords you chose are really good and will help find a target audience. Here's is what I'd recommend testing. Use SEO tools or AI to research what key phrases NON-EXPERTS are searching for... For example, a good prospect for you in Website Design might by searching for "website for my business" or "business website" SEMRush gave me these ideas: Business website design Website design for small business Professional website design Affordable website design Custom website design Best website design for businesses Responsive website design Local business website design E-commerce website design Small business web design examples So, you are off to a good start, now it's time to test and refine. Let me know if this makes sense...and if you'd like to take my 5-day LinkedIn Mastery course for FREE, go here: linkedin.proutyclass.com and fill out the form, I'll hook you up!
WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You cannot just send connection requests to anyone you find on search results. B/c they out of your network. They arent even 3rd level. Second WRONG: You can only send 40 requests a week. So how many of those will accept, and agreed to hop on a discovery call? Dude, you will spend a year to get one client. Please either give real info or dont mislead the public.
@@ChrisProutyVideos r u silly ? u r only allowed to send 400 messages a month... how many of those r qualified, accept invitation, answer nessaessages ges, need ur service, hub on a discovery call, buy your service?,u r missing the elephant in the room.
Hey chris, thank you so much for this video. Straight to the point. I am actually stuck on Keywords to search for for course creators on LinkedIn. Any tips yoy would recommend?
Hi Abdulbaki, first...thank you for the watching the video and for the comment. Every week, on Friday at 12PM ET, I do a live Q&A here on my RU-vid channel. I will answer your questions live tomorrow. There will also be a recording of the broadcast in the "Live" section of my channel. If you can be here at 12PM ET tomorrow, great...if not, that's cool too...you can watch the recording and get your answer.
My biggest take away is taking the LinkedIn connection to outside and connecting with them on call, zoom meeting or in-person meeting... thanks for the video
Md! Thank you so much for the comment and the kind words. It's such a strong strategy because you can get visible with your audience in more ways than just LinkedIn. Interesting to note, the average visitor spends about 7 minutes and 38 seconds on LinkedIn (that's the LOWEST among all popular social media)...so It makes sense to get their attention elsewhere. Thanks again! Chris PS If you'd like to take my LinkedIn Mastery course for free, hop over to linkedin.proutyclass.com and I'll hook you up.
Wow. This is awesome. I will be implementing these tips. You have made this extremely easy to understand, no way you can go wrong implementing this and building a strategy.
Patrick! You have inspired me today with you comment! Thanks so much. Please connect with me on LinkedIn AND check out this playlist that has even more videos on how to use LinkedIn to get clients: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-300aBi-N5yk.html Be well. Chris
Do you know what ? I asked a former colleague to ask me a request (as a client) for a video in my domain and follow step by step what you said on your video. thank you very much again - You guess that i am a beginner in LinkedIn Business
@@thetradingfloorinstituteby9453 I am inspired by your desire to move forward. We are all beginners at some point...you are taking action and that's fantastic.
The challenge Tik Tok faces is that they are not financially nurturing their content creators at the pace and level as other platforms. Let's hope that's not a death knell, but instead an agent for change.
