Transcribe →The Best Uses For LinkedIn Polls
Apr 2700:12:28Tap to summarizeAre you actually using LinkedIn polls to grow your business… or just to get a few extra likes? Most people treat polls like a quick engagement hack. But when used the right way, they become one of the most powerful tools for market research, content creation, and lead generation on LinkedIn. Here are the 3 best uses for LinkedIn polls: Use polls for deeper market researchStop guessing what your audience needs. Ask them. What are they struggling with?What’s working?What’s not? Your audience will tell you exactly what they want help with… You just have to allow them to share. Turn your poll results into contentThis is where most people drop the ball. They run a poll, get responses, and move on. Instead, take that data and create content around it. If 60% of your audience says they’re struggling with lead generation, that becomes your next post.If a majority says something isn’t working, speak directly to that. Your best content ideas are already sitting in your poll results. Use polls as lead generation machinesThis is the part that changes everything. Every vote is a signal.Every like, comment, and reshare is an opportunity. These are warm people. They already know who you are and have engaged with you. Start conversations with them, not pitches. “Hey, I saw you voted on my poll about [topic], curious what’s been your biggest challenge with that?” That’s how relationships start.That’s how conversations happen.That’s how clients are created. If you’re not using polls this way, you’re not just missing engagement… You’re missing real opportunities.Book a call with us to learn about our intimate group coaching mastermind for coaches, consultants, and service professionals called Expert Authority, for those who want to scale and grow by using the link below. https://scottaaron.as.me/expertauthorityconsult

One Of The Top Reinvention Coaches In The World
Apr 2300:21:30Tap to summarizeLearn more about Brian here: I used to think success meant pushing through.I had the title, the team, the 4.8 Glassdoor rating. On paper, it looked like I’d made it. But one morning, staring at a packed calendar of meetings, check-ins, and dashboards, it hit me—I didn’t see myself anywhere in the day ahead.That moment cracked something open. It wasn’t a breakdown. It was a wake-up call.I wasn’t burned out. I was misaligned.For years, I followed the script: lead well, stay loyal, don’t rock the boat. But inside, I was drifting—further from purpose, further from peace. And I realized: if I kept pushing through week after week—deadlines, deliverables, and decisions—I’d lose the man my wife married… the father I wanted to be… the leader I could’ve become.So I got clear. I built what I couldn’t find in the systems around me: a strategy grounded in values, not just performance. A framework to help high-achieving men stop reacting and start designing what comes next—with intention, profit, and alignment.Today, that framework powers Janus Life Coaching.I work with successful professional men who are ready for a new chapter—but don’t know how to turn restlessness into a plan. I help them recalibrate, reconnect with what matters, and make a confident next move.If you’ve ever thought,“I can’t stay here… but I don’t know where to go,”This is your moment.Let’s build a map that actually fits your life, your truth, and your leadership.https://januslifecoaching.com/Don't forget to sign up for our LinkedIn workshop here: https://www.thetimetogrow.com/scale-your-business-blueprint-workshop

Apr 2000:16:27Tap to summarizeAre you trying to grow your email list on LinkedIn… but keeping everything on LinkedIn?That’s the problem.LinkedIn is where the conversation starts, not where your list grows.Here are four simple ways to start using it the right way:1. If you have a clickable link in your headline on the free version, don’t change it. - If you never had one, you can’t add it now. - Premium users, use that space to drive to a call, website, or newsletter.2. Use your Featured section strategically:- Website or calendar first- Newsletter second- Opt-in or landing page third3. Turn your LinkedIn newsletter into a conversion tool. - End every edition with a clear call to action and a link to collect emails.4. Use LinkedIn Live Events to drive action. - Say it clearly: “If you’d like to book a free call, type ‘me’ in the comments.”LinkedIn is the top of your funnel.Start guiding people off the platform… and onto your list.

Apr 1300:24:03Tap to summarizeWhy aren’t your LinkedIn connections turning into paying clients?Most people think they need more connections.They don’t.They need a better strategy for what to do with the connections they already have.Because connections don’t equal conversations.And conversations are what lead to clients.Here’s how to actually turn your LinkedIn connections into paying clients:Optimize your profile:- Your profile should clearly show who you help, how you help them, and why it matters. When someone lands on your page, it should feel like they’re in the right place.Build the right network:- It’s not about more connections, it’s about the right ones. Focus on ideal clients and aligned referral partners, not random adds.Message with intention:- Stop pitching. Start connecting. Every message should feel human, relevant, and rooted in context, not a script.Create content that builds trust:- Your content should position you as the go-to resource. When done right, it warms people up before you ever send a message.Take the conversation offline:- This is where most people drop the ball. Real relationships and real clients are built off the platform, not just on it.If you follow this process consistently, everything changes:• Better conversations• More responses• Higher-quality clientsBecause LinkedIn isn’t just a networking platform.It’s a relationship-building platform that turns visibility into opportunity.What to learn exactly how to do this?
