    Allow Jill to introduce herself...
     
    At high school I was the girl always gazing out of the window dreaming of escape, or caught talking to anybody who would listen!
     
    I had various jobs before training and working my dream job as an actress in theatre and TV before starting my first B2C business, which I successfully sold 12 years later. During this journey, I fell in love with marketing, made mistakes, and learned how to grow a client base quickly.
     
    LinkedIn wasn't initially on my radar, but as my business coaching company grew, my clients were eager to learn the secrets behind my LinkedIn success.
     
    After being thrown off LinkedIn four times when I first created my profile, I knew I had to learn how to use the platform properly or resign myself to using Facebook forever—something I hated.
     
    Two weeks later I won several contracts totalling nearly £20K and was on a roll… of course LinkedIn has changed massively over the years but it still continues to be a hugely useful platform for anyone who serves other businesses and want to win new clients quickly.
     
    Now I serve the best in class from 100’s of solopreneurs coming through my programmes to setting up powerful LinkedIn profiles and sales systems for £Billion companies.
     
    I’ve re-written the profiles of some of the top UK CEOs and they’re my best kept secret due to NDA’s
     
    Know your clients are on LinkedIn but don't know where to start making the platform work for you?
     
    Try our brand new Toolkit that takes you on 5 simple steps to get your next client... Again and again and again.
