How Well Are You LinkedIn?
Not sure how to LinkIn and make the most of online networking?
Create buzz with social media competitions
Last year we saw Twitter go mainstream and despite reports that it might not remain popular, it appears to be stronger than ever. People (and businesses) realised it was so much more than updating your followers with what you had for lunch. Take your twitter and Facebook strategy one step further by including competitions to engage and reward your followers. CP Communications has been exploring and implementing social media competitions for clients and gaining remarkable results.

Does Networking really work?
From specific association networks to broad business groups, there are so many opportunities for business owners to network, but does networking actually work?

Know YOURSELF to Choose A Right Franchise Opportunity
Often when someone talks to me about franchising they will ask, "So, what are the hot franchises these days?" My answer is usually this, "The ones that most closely align to the new franchisee's personality and passions and are in a franchise system that aligns with their beliefs about what the right business culture should be." So let me ask, are you one of those who think a franchise’s success is the primary reason to buy a franchise? In other words do you think since they are successful I should consider becoming a franchisee in that particular business, that particular brand? If you’re looking to become a franchise then you are likely to think just that way. Don't! “Hey, if it makes money for others, it’ll make money for me.”
Hitting the Sweet Spot
Anyone who’s ever played golf knows about the ‘sweet spot’. It’s that favoured spot on the clubface – hit the sweet spot and it feels good, you’re in control of the ball and that birdie is yours for the taking. If you don’t hit that spot, it doesn’t feel right, you spend your time hacking in the rough and before you know it you’re in a bad patch.
A Must Before You Recruit
Building an ideal candidate profile is so often missed by managers when they start to consider recruitment and the process or structure it will take. They jump straight into the search and interview phases with little thought of what their ideal candidate profile would look like.

LinkedIn Marketing – How to Use LinkedIn to Promote Your Business
1. Customize Your URL Your profile information may be indexed by search engines. LinkedIn profiles receive a pretty high rank in Google. Instead of using the default URL, customize your own by using your company’s name. If you’re a small start up, it would be better if you used a really great keyword instead of your actual name. If nobody knows you, they won’t be searching for your name, so you have better chances of ranking higher with a competitive keyword. And don’t forget to select the “Full View” option. 2. Give Your Profile Greater Visibility To strengthen the visibility of what is essentially your business profile, use your customized LinkedIn URL as a signature when you leave comments in business or industry-specific blogs.

Legal Marketing: Are you ignoring your "contact settings" on LinkedIn
Poor old contact settings. Relegated to the bottom of your profile. Often ignored. But did you know that with a few minor tweaks, contact settings could make your profile exponentially more accessible on LinkedIn? The trick is adding your contact information (an email address or phone number) to this section – usually found at the bottom of your profile. Once you do, your contact information becomes exposed to your entire network – not just your first level of connections. This way clients are more likely to find you. And not just find you, but contact you. If it’s too hard for a client to find your prospect information, you might lose them to your competition.
