Boy, do I feel very differently now and I look forward to incorporating  Linkedin into my business plan.  I learned a great deal on this call and realized what how I can use Linkedin as a way to find many contacts through the power of other connections.    This will be especially helpful to me being in a new city and I am counting on having many connections I didn’t even realize I had.   The call was fantastic in terms of teaching me how to use a tool that does not seem that intuitive to use and I definitely see the benefit in using it.   

Thank you so much for being on the call Chip.  You are clearly passionate about networking and profitability and I learned a great deal.  Continue to check our website and blog for more information regarding social media and Linkedin.  If you missed the Embrace Social Media, a TeleSummit, be on the lookout for Chip’s presentation available from A Red Bench.
