With Josh Turner

If you’re looking to connect with a highly targeted group of prospects to help you grow and advance your speaking career, you’ll want to hear today’s guest! Josh Turner is a LinkedIn guru, as well as the founder and creator of LinkedSelling.

On episode 97 of The Speaker Lab, Josh and I discuss how he became interested in LinkedIn, how he helped his first client generate $20 million from a campaign on the networking site and the proper ways to connect and grow your network with LinkedIn (and why so many people are using it wrong).
