We realised that we were not using Linkedin effectively to generate leads for our business. The structure of the course was clear, logical and effective. It has given me and my business partner the confidence to use LinkedIn to improve my profile and most importantly generate leads.

Without exception, the best training course I have ever attended. David was infectiously enthusiastic and incredibly knowledgeable. The course has opened our minds to what can be achieved via social media campaigns. Cannot recommend highly enough.

As a small business, we found this session with David of JC Social Media one of the best investments we have made. David's personality, coupled with his deep knowledge of the subject (and practical ways of how to apply it) made for a superb day. I would thoroughly recommend JC Social Media for any enterprise that needs to understand how to apply social media in a way that directly impacts the commercial success of the company.

We had David come to our office for a LinkedIn training session on generating leads, how to create the best LinkedIn profile and posting. The team here who had the session thought it was a great insight to LinkedIn and I would recommend a training session from David any day!
