LinkedIn Profile Makeover Tips for Sales Job Seekers, “Video Blog”

November 4th, 2009

by Marci Reynolds, CEO of J2B Marketing

Online Job Search, Social Media Educator For NEJS

Are you a Sales Leader or Sales Representative Job Seeker who may need a LinkedIn Profile makeover?

I recently reviewed more than 50 LinkedIn Profiles from Sales Professionals across the United States to look for trends and best practices. This review uncovered two key observations: Many Sales Professionals are using the exact same language to describe their skills and experience and therefore are not differentiating themselves from other Sales Professionals.

I also found that the language in many sales profiles was basic, and used what I’ll call “worn out words and phrases”. These are words that you see time and time again and as a result they start to lose their power and meaning.

Learn more about my findings, and more importantly, my recommendations for sales job seekers, by clicking on the video blog photo below. Enjoy!
