Things you will learn in this episode:

* Leverage LinkedIn’s free search to find companies that meet your ideal clients. You can search by industry, location, and even company size. Once you’ve identified prospective accounts, look at your social proximity to the people there. You can then find out who you are already connected to or who you know that can make an introduction. — Brynne Tillman

* LinkedIn now has 756 million members! Ten years ago it was 174 million. Just five years ago, it was 490 million. So LinkedIn is more important than ever when it comes to making business connections because it’s where you’ll find those specific people with whom you want to start conversations! More and more of them are joining LinkedIn too. — Bob Woods
