So at the time that I’m recording this, we’re coming on off of the very first LinkedIn profile challenge that we’ve run, it was a week long challenge that we ran in October, November 2019. So if you’re listening to this later, maybe we’ve run it again by then who knows. But it was so much fun. It was so much fun. We learned a ton about how to do how to do a better job on the things we’re doing. We ran into some crazy technology challenges, which maybe, who knows, can we blame Mercury Retrograde for that? I know there’s a lot of people that would never have done what I did during Mercury Retrograde so maybe that was a lesson we learned to who knows.

But one of the things that I realized and I get why you’re doing this, but one of the things that really stood out to me as we ran this challenge, and by the way, if you want to get in on the next challenge, it’s completely free. Just go to LinkedIn profile challenge. com, you can get on the waitlist. But if one of the things that I really that I learned from the people that were in the challenge, and we had tons of people in the challenge with tons of success stories and tons of tons of amazing improvements to their LinkedIn profile, was it everybody wants to talk about themselves.

And I get that it’s LinkedIn. Right? We look at it kind of almost like our digital resume, which I do not agree with. But I get why you think it’s that way a lot of people do. And in your resume, you tell everybody about you all the things you’ve learned all the places, you’ve worked all the education you have, you, you, you, you, you writer, me, me, me, me, me. But at the end of the day, nobody really cares about you. Right? They care about what you can do for them, especially around LinkedIn. And I like to say that your resume is who you used to be.

And your LinkedIn profile is who you are becoming as the person that you’re stepping into. It is the is the business and the life and the career that you’re creating for yourself. Right. And that’s the position that we want to move forward with them and we ran this challenge. We literally took people through a journey not just through their profile, but through the mindset around their profile. So that was really cool and really fun too.

So one of the challenges that I had as we ran through this challenge was to keep everyone focused on why, like what’s in it for me on the point of the person that’s reading the profile. So whether you’re looking to get new clients, whether you’re looking to get a new job, whether you’re looking to just get a promotion, or connect with amazing people or get speaking engagements, or you want to be guests on podcasts, or, you know, you want to find joint venture partners to get your message in front of a lot of people, whatever it is that you’re using LinkedIn to do.

At the end of the day, yes, it’s important that you tell people about you, but it’s more important that that when people see it, they when they say oh my gosh, I totally need to to connect with this person because you’ve hooked them. And to me, there’s two tiny little words that strike fear in the hearts of everyone that I work with privately. And that is so that because you know at the end of the day, people want to connect with you because you You help them with something? Okay. So can you see the difference? So let me just give you an example. You know, it is it let’s say you are a, I use this example a lot, you probably have heard this on this podcast before, let’s say your financial planner, and you tell me all about the great things that you do.

And you’ve all the licenses that you have in the letters after your name and how many years you’ve been doing this, you and a million other people do that. Right? So So why do I care? Right? Why do I care? So if you’re telling me in your LinkedIn profile, that I’m a financial planner, that help women over 50 create enough wealth to retire at 60? Now, I’m paying attention, right? If you’re just saying, I’m a financial planner, I’m thinking okay, so what so that what, so that I can help women? Great, great. You’re getting there. Why do I need help? I’m a women. I’m a woman so that what? Well, you’re a woman over 50 and you’re facing retirement, you don’t have enough money.

Okay, now I’m starting to pay more attention right? But I’m not done with you yet right? So that what I, why do you need more money so that you can retire at 60. And I can probably take this so that even further, so that when, so that you can retire at 60, so that you’re young enough to play with your grandchildren so that you can travel so that you can spend more time with the people you love. Right?

That is what we’re buying. We’re not buying a financial planner, we’re buying abundance so that I can enjoy my life in retirement. Right. So when you’re reading your LinkedIn profile, you need to be thinking about those kinds of things. Can you see the difference? Can you see the difference from the beginning of that statement to the end of that statement? Now, we’re not going to go on your LinkedIn profile and say I help you spend more time you know, travel better in your retirement. I mean, maybe you can, maybe you do and I absolutely can help you with that like that. I love that. But imagine the difference that that can make in your business.

Imagine the difference that incorporating the so that technique into everything you do in your business. Imagine the difference that could make in the changes. Again, even if you’re looking for a job, you know, okay, I know Word and Excel. All right? I don’t care about that I’m looking to hire somebody and I care that you know, we’re like, so that I can give you reports every week. Okay?

Now I’m paying attention so that you’re not stressing about your numbers, you know, so that you can spend more time doing the things you love to do. Right? And maybe it’s in my business and you’re going to say I don’t care necessarily that you know how to do spreadsheets. But if you tell me at the end of the so that, that my skills allow me to spend more time creating great ideas for for my podcast, or to get in front of more audiences I’m paying attention now. Right?

So that really behind the assistant and this skills I’m buying the so that and I’ve heard of say and I don’t know who said this, if anybody knows who said this, please let me know who this is. But I’ve heard it said and I love this as people don’t buy socks. They buy warm feet. So we want to think about that in your business. And so we’re going to talk about here today. And again, you know, I’m always tying this over to LinkedIn. Right? It starts by incorporating the so that you know the warm feet technique into your LinkedIn profile, so that people will want to build relationships with you so that you’re building the life and the business and the career of your dreams so that you can spend more time with the people you love, right?

So the first thing I want you to think about is to start to test this, use this so that technique everywhere, okay, use the so that technique everywhere, start to apply it to the copy on your website, start to apply it to email subject lines, or to apply it to the emails you write to people start to apply it everywhere and not from a you know, I don’t want you I don’t want to stop you in your fields. I can’t send this email because I haven’t done this yet. But I want you to start playing with this right it’s really right now it’s just about playing with it. Applying this everywhere. Apply. So that technique to, to all the things you’re doing in your business in the next week, and see what you can shift, okay, see what you can shift in the messaging. Of course, I want you to also apply to your LinkedIn profile, apply to your headline if you’re part of the LinkedIn profile challenge that we’ve done some of this work already.

And again, if you want to do the the challenge of this, again, we’re gonna incorporate even more of this, because I realized in the first round that that I need to incorporate more of this based on some of the like, when we were in the heart of it, it was hard to see what people were needing, you know, overall, but now that we’re looking back at it, that’s why I want to do this episode to get you thinking more about that because I don’t think we saw enough of that in the profiles that were happening in the challenge.

So start to just play with this make this fun, don’t make this a job. Start to play with it and keep going. Like pretend I am at your back going so that was so that was so that was so that what Okay, start to play with this not in a I don’t want you to stress about this and like I’d have to rewrite your whole website, but I will I want you to start to apply it to things that you’re doing now. And just again, have some fun with this.

And then the second thing I want you to do is like take a look at your LinkedIn profile. And maybe we’ll just start with your LinkedIn headline and see if it passes the warm feet test. Right? Are you selling socks? Are you selling warm feet, look at your LinkedIn profile, just broadly, maybe just start with the headline and see if you can incorporate some warm feet into that profile.

Okay, just again, don’t rip the whole thing apart. Don’t start all over again to see where you can infuse warm feet using the so that technique into your LinkedIn profile. And then once you’ve done that, you know if you’re listening to this podcast that I know that you’re interested in LinkedIn marketing and you I know that you can you know how to benefit from relationship based marketing. Start to apply it right the first you started to test and you’re like Hon, this is kind of fun. How can I incorporate it?

The second thing I want you to do with Go to your LinkedIn profile and see if it passes the warm feet test. And if it doesn’t start to incorporate warm feed into that. And the third thing I want you to do is start to incorporate it into the rest of your marketing. You’ve done some testing with this, right? So the testing should be shaking out maybe some areas you want to look at first, right and not your whole website. But maybe it’s a maybe you look at what you’re going to be promoting in the next three months. Right? That’s all you need to look at right now.

So this is not I don’t want you to rip everything apart. Just baby step. This is we’re not Marie Kondo in your whole website. We’re not taking everything out of your closets. We’re just looking at one closet, right? One program that you’re maybe you’re going to be talking about in the next three months, maybe it’s even something you’re going to sell if you’re looking listening to this live, you know, or you know, when it goes live in the fall of 2019 what’s happening between now and the end of the year for you and what can you you know, dig deeper with this. So that technique into that piece of your marketing okay. Then just start to use this technique everywhere you go.

So let me just recap that for a second, I want you to, to you to test start to play with so that in some of the different things you’re doing in the next week, then going over to your LinkedIn profile and see if it passes the warm feet test, if not starting to use the so that technique to get you closer to warm feet and a more away from, you know, buying socks, and then apply it start to apply it to a specific place in your marketing. And this is where you can start to shift this because if you’re building relationships, here’s my so that right?

If you’re building if you’re using LinkedIn to build relationships, and your profile is compelling, and it talks about warm feet, and it, it uses this so that technique and you dive and you’re diving deeper into that and you’re hooking people into wanting to talk to you, if the next thing you’re talking to them about is this offer that you’re going to be doing in the next three months. I want that to also be a Giving them warm feet, right. And that’s how we very quickly start to use LinkedIn, not just to build our networks, but to build our bank accounts.

Okay, so we’ve got a worksheet for you to help make this simple, is the so that technique workshop, you can just go to Karenyankovich.com/098download to get that worksheet.
