Exponential Growth with Employee Advocacy

Cisco recently announced they were going to train 84,000 of their employees to become Linkedin influencers and create content on Linkedin. Employee advocacy at its finest. There are innumerable, ripple effect benefits for the employer and employee when employees build their own personal brands. But how do you get started and create a culture of employee advocacy, get over imposture syndrome and build your company's brand and your personal brand? I’ve learned a ton from interacting and watching Nick Bennett over the last few years. He generated millions in new revenue for the companies he worked for while building his own personal brand along the way. His former employer still gets brand awareness and leads from advocacy he did years ago. Spoiler alert: he’s now taken his personal brand to the next level with starting his own company from it all! Epic. A picture-perfect example of the exponential growth opportunity in employee advocacy Here are a few things we covered in our conversation this week: - How to provide leadership around employee advocacy in your organization - How employee advocacy has nothing to do with the employee-talking about the company - Simple strategies for creating content as an employee - How can employee advocacy help with recruiting - How to have to have a point of POV - And much more!
