Things you will learn in this episode:

* When you use LinkedIn to start sales conversations, it’s not about who you know, it’s about who they, your 1st-degree connections, know. That’s especially true with your networking partners — search who they know and whom you want to start a conversation with. Have them do the same thing with your connections, too! — Bob Woods

* Referrals are the best way to grow your business, but waiting for them passively isn’t a predictable sales activity. Leverage LinkedIn to search your connection’s connections, build a list of your ideal prospects, run the names by your connection, and whittle them down to a few meaningful introductions. — Brynne Tillman
