Last week's presentation from Chuck Shaver at CS Sales Consulting was an education on LinkedIn's best practices. Chuck defined the user types (Beginner, Novice, Semi-Pro) and the different LinkedIn strategies you can pursue (Image, Advertising, Prospecting) and showed how to leverage LinkedIn for success for all. Starting with optimizing your LinkedIn Profile and transitioning to selling techniques, Chuck covered the 4-pillars of LinkedIn Selling (Search, Connect, Post, Nurture) to leverage LinkedIn to grow your business. ________________ Startup Skills Workshops are monthly lunch & learns that provide founders with knowledge and actionable strategies to immediately apply to their businesses. We will take a break from June-August but have reopened applications for being a paid speaker at a Startup Skills Workshop starting back up in September.

"Entrepreneurship can be incredibly lonely, and while I wouldn't trade my current career for anything, I miss coworkers! Plus, I see so many creatives who don't consider themselves "entrepreneurs" because they don't fit the traditional mold, and I want to change that."

Happy Small Business Week! Here are some fun facts about small businesses and how they impact our economy: • 99.9% of all businesses (33M businesses) are small businesses • 96% of all businesses (32M businesses) have fewer than 10 employees. This segment of small business is driving new firm creation. • Small businesses employ nearly half of the private sector workforce • Businesses with fewer than 10 employees account for one-quarter of the U.S. workforce • Small businesses with fewer than 10 employees generate more than $4 trillion in annual sales and receipts, more than the combined output of two of the largest sectors of the U.S. economy, Information and Construction. One of the many reasons why we support all industries, businesses and individuals! #smallbusinessweek #supportsmallbusiness
