There is a tremendous opportunity to meet a plethora of professionals on LinkedIn, as it is the world’s largest professional social network. The platform boasts more than 250 million members in more than 200 countries and territories.

And you can, too.
As the CEO of JMF International Trade Group, Filbird used LinkedIn to grow his company to earn revenues of more than $5 million. He also finds more than 75 percent of his business via the platform.
