1:48 Ted’s ideal Client: Anybody that really needs LinkedIn to generate business. People who asked what do I do on LinkedIn, I don’t know what to do or anything. Treat people like you're meeting face-to-face. Remember those old days when we used to go to conferences together, and meet each other, it's a person having a conversation with.

2:37 Problem Ted helps solve: I really help simplify how to reach out to people on LinkedIn, to come up with that strategy. How to get on LinkedIn every day and spend 15-20 minutes and get clients.

6:31 How do you find the right people on LinkedIn? I get 30 to 50 invitations a day that people come to me. But when I go out and find people, there's a thing called a LinkedIn inside tag in the advertising section. You don't have to run ads, but you put this little code on your website. Every visitor that comes to your website, matches up with LinkedIn profile information. It told me that 60% of my website visitors are in Business Development & Sales, and all of my marketing materials and courses are for coaches, small business owners and consultants. It’s a whole new revenue stream.

I consider myself a farmer, I'm planting a seed every day, I'm not going for the kill. I'm just planting seeds. People see my content all day long and they say "I need to hire Ted." My phone's ringing off the hook right now since this whole pandemic.
