| Welcome to MSP University | Enjoy the Summer Solstice
 Solstice
derives from a combination of Latin words meaning "sun"
+ "to stand still." As the days lengthen, the sun rises
higher and higher until it seems to stand still in the
sky.
As a
major
celestial event, the Summer Solstice results in the
longest day
and the shortest night of the year. The Northern
Hemisphere celebrates
in June, but the people on the Southern half of the
earth have
their longest summer day in December.

How
Managed Services Providers Can Use Linkedin Effectively
|
 If you are a
managed services provider and are looking to build your business and your
reputation, Linkedin just might be your answer. Linkedin is currently the
largest professional network on the web with over 65 million members. Linkedin
is a place for businesses just like yours to exchange knowledge and ideas with
other professionals, to become noticed in your field, to find new clientèle and
ultimately to grow your business. Here are 4 tips to help you use
Linkedin effectively:1. Create
Your LinkedIn Profile Page:The profile page on Linkedin can be a
very powerful tool for your business. While just having a profile page will
index you on search engine sites, building a top notch profile will get you high
page rankings and set you apart from your competition. Be sure to completely
fill out your profile and include important elements like an image (usually your
company logo), specific details about the services your company provides,
products offered, company experience, company recognition and awards along with
anything else you think is pertinent. 2.
Use LinkedIn to Connect With OthersOnce you have your profile up
and running, making connections is the next step. Use the search tool and find
people you know and connect with them. You will want to connect with an array of
people including your close personal friends and all of your current business
contacts, including any current customers. It is also important to find people
from your past like former business associates, former employers, former
classmates and more. You never know which person you make a contact with could
lead you to your next big client. Click here to read the rest of How to Use Linkedin Effectively! |
