Since working with Ted and optimizing my profile, Ive added 208 connections in just 30 days and am in the top 20% of pros like me. My sales cycle is generally three months to three years since my services require so much education to the prospect... I took my best Facebook ad and put it on LinkedIn and already got seven clicks with an average CPC of $4.66.

I discovered Ted on LinkedIn and attended a webinar he was offering. It was the first in-depth training on LinkedIn I had ever had and it was an eye-opener. Ive implemented as much of the training as I could and the results were immediate. The quality of the people responding to my group comments or postings, those viewing my profile and the number of connection requests have gone up significantly. My greatest success so far was following Teds advice on building authority. My second publication on LinkedIns Pulse had nearly 9,000 views, 460 likes, and 59 comments within 2 days. The quality of the commenters was high and their comments provided me with a ton of content for further posts. Anyone who wants to take their LinkedIn presence to a new level should get this book.

Ted, once again, I cannot say enough about your training. This has been an excellent program; I enrolled in the LinkedIn Jumpstart program because of all the value that you have been providing in your webinars over the past year and the credibility that you have earned with your level of knowledge and your passion for helping others to succeed. When I saw your offer for the Jumpstart program, I didnt hesitate for a moment and once again, you did not disappoint. It was definitely a worthwhile investment.
