Jan’s Story (as told by Jan)
I’m Jan Wallen. I literally “wrote the book on LinkedIn”. I’m the author of Mastering LinkedIn in 7 Days or Less – the easiest way there is to maximize LinkedIn to boost your sales, find clients and grow your business.
I wasn’t always a LinkedIn Expert – I started 6 years ago when someone invited me to connect. I connected and looked around LinkedIn – and didn’t’ know what to do with it. So I didn’t do anything. Pretty soon, someone showed me the ropes – NOT everything to do on LinkedIn – only what I had to know to grow my business.
With my background as a leading salesperson, I saw how power LinkedIn is for sales, so I was excited about it and started talking to people about how wonderful LinkedIn is. Every single person said, “Oh – I’m on LinkedIn, but I don’t know what to do with it.” I thought to myself – there’s a book here. So I learned LinkedIn backwards and forwards and inside out, and wrote the book.
I show business owners & professionals how to quickly get quality referrals that turn into business.
