Key Takeaways:
  • Profile Optimization: Don’t treat your LinkedIn profile like a resume; instead, showcase your personality, expertise, and niche within the fitness industry. Use an attractive banner image and tell your story, focusing on the problems your audience faces.
  • Avoid Sales Pitching: Don’t immediately hit new connections with a sales pitch. Build relationships by offering value and getting to know your connections’ needs and goals.
  • Create Quality Content: Proactively and consistently create high-quality content that resonates with your target audience. Quality over quantity is key, whether it’s videos, articles, or newsletters.
  • Engage with Others: Engaging with your network is vital. Don’t just connect with as many people as possible; interact genuinely, ask questions, and foster meaningful conversations that can lead to conversions.

Remember, this is about opening. It’s first impressions. It’s opening that conversation with somebody, getting to know them.
