EP 99 - Expand Your Network

Let's Talk Supply Chain

Today we have a special treat: Last week I joined Daniel Stanton, Mr Supply Chain on his Linkedin page to do a Live about our 10 ten social media tips and today, we are releasing the recording to our community as well! Daniel is a top influencer in the global supply chain community: the author of Supply Chain for Dummies, publisher of 10 supply chain courses on LinkedIn Live and over 35,000 followers on LinkedIn!

In our live we discuss top social media tips for professionals in the supply chain industry. Why care about social media? Social media is a great way to build a professional network. It’s also an amazing way to learn more about your industry, as well as share what you know yourself. And of course, if you do it well, it’s a lot of fun.

When getting started with social media, it’s important to pick a platform where you feel the most comfortable. This could be Twitter for engaging conversations, or LinkedIn for B2B communication. Daniel emphasizes the importance of finding your tribe and building a network of like-minded individuals. Sarah shares some tips when it comes to engaging with others online, and Daniel tells us how we can encourage others to engage in conversations. The episode ends with an explanation from Daniel on why social media is a part of building and navigating your professional journey. At the end of the day you get out of it what you put into it.
