Testimonials
Richard Bliss’s class on Social Selling is outstanding! He taught his course to all of NetApp inside sales. I give it 5 stars! It was a tremendous value and completely elevated our sales team’s approach to reaching out to customers and prospects.
Richard answered our questions and walked us through how to improve our LinkedIn and Twitter accounts to be a more effective selling and influencing. The big difference was not just telling us how to do it but showing us how, and then helping us do it ourselves in class. This hands-on part of the class was exceptional. Hearing about it was good, but actually doing it was better. Having someone as knowledgeable as Richard to answer questions as we used the tools was fantastic. Excellent class! Brilliant instructor! Incredible value!

Richard is a LinkedIn Pro! He was a keynote speaker at the National Speaker's Association Conference and I've attended a webinar of his. From those two sessions I learned so much from him. I immediately applied a couple of his ideas and saw a significant increase in engagement on my LinkedIn posts. Plus, I'm enjoying LinkedIn much more! It feels more genuine.
If you want to learn more about how to use LinkedIn in a way that's sincere and genuine, I highly recommend Richard Bliss!
