How to Use LinkedIn Successfully for Government Contracting



LinkedIn is one of the most powerful social media networks available for government contractors. With over 400 million users, LinkedIn is used by government buyers and contract administrators, as well as buyers, program directors, and contract managers for prime contractors, strategic integrators and others in the GovCon space. 

There is a lot about LinkedIn that many professionals do not know. For example, did you know that over 75% of LinkedIn users participate in LinkedIn groups? In fact, there are hundreds of GovCon-related groups in LinkedIn that focus on everything from specific contract vehicles to types of government contracting professionals. 

During this FPS Webinar, Michael Hackmer, Founder and Chief Digital Strategist of Social Web Tactics, will break down several key ways on how you can use LinkedIn as a government contractor.

This webinar will cover:

  • How to create an optimal professional and company LinkedIn profile
  • How to research potential prospects and partners
  • The correct ways to connect with other professionals in LinkedIn
  • Ways to grow your name recognition and company brand (organically and through paid advertising)
  • The top GovCon groups on LinkedIn, as well as ways for identifying niche groups important to your business
The goal of this webinar is to expand your knowledge of and skill level with LinkedIn. You also will learn practical ways to leverage the LinkedIn network, so you can secure more business opportunities and generate revenue for your company. 


By the end of this webinar, you should have the keys to start building a successful LinkedIn strategy for yourself and your company. There will be time for a "Question and Answer" session towards the end of the Webinar.  You also may submit questions in advance to: GetStarted@SocialWebTactics.com.
