A bit about your presenter:
This webinar is run by Rachel Sweet who runs her own business and has a number of years worth of experience, advising individuals on marketing and how to grow their business.
What attendees of this webinar say:
''The trainer Rachel was very friendly and had so much knowledge on LinkedIn and how to get the most from this platform. I have come away feeling inspired to want to connect with other individuals and businesses so that I can be of service to others whilst starting to seriously grow my own network. Rachel also gave lots of tips on how to write posts, join groups and start gaining as much traction on LinkedIn as possible. This was 3 hours very well spent and I would recommend it to anyone thinking of starting their own business. Thank you to Sue and the team at Cool Ventures for making this possible for me.''
Steve Milton, Integrity Films Ltd
