LinkedIn

With Mark Amtower

LinkedIn is not a spectator Sport

It’s widely recognized that almost everyone in GovCon, including contractors, federal employees, service providers, and media professionals, is on LinkedIn.

However, what is not as commonly acknowledged is that many companies lack the necessary skills to effectively leverage LinkedIn for business growth. Over the years, it has become evident that numerous individuals and organizations adopt a passive approach, waiting for opportunities to come to them rather than actively utilizing LinkedIn’s potential.

Visibility and credibility are critical for government contractors.

Multiple GovCon studies, including GovExec’s Leading Brands and Hinge Research’s High Growth Companies, show that if a company is not recognized by contracting officers, program managers, or other procurement influencers, or if its expertise cannot be substantiated, its chances of winning business are significantly reduced.

Bespoke Marketing Plans

Visibility and Credibility are Issues Contractors can Control if They choose to. LinkedIn Provides the Best Venue for this.

In a relationship-driven market, how are you growing and managing your network of key movers and shakers, buyers, and purchasing influencers? How are you influencing what others know about you, your company, and your key personnel?

LinkedIn provides the best venue for any company, small or large, to stand out by developing and sharing specific areas of expertise.

LinkedIn can be used for:

LinkedIn is the First Place People and Companies are Vetted in the Federal Market

Only a small percentage of government contractors leverage LinkedIn fully and start to win more business. That small percentage claim specific areas of expertise, then position their respective companies and key personnel as subject matter experts. Then they engage with others through developing and sharing content, by connecting to influencers and becoming more active and visible.

This activity is essential for creating a gravitational pull for your company, influencing your buying audience to take a closer look at who you are, what you do, and why it is valuable to them—the buyers and influencers. It also leads to a broader market reach.

Many companies join social networks simply because everyone else has, and then passively wait for something to happen.
