“Jan is great! I have used LinkedIn for years in my lead generation process and consider myself an adept. But, after attending a session conducted by Jan, I was amazed and delighted to see how much Jan had to teach me. Jan has high value information to convey to everyone, from the beginner to the experienced practitioner. I’m better now for having attended. Thank you Jan!” David Bresler, Vice President, Business Development, Cyrus Innovation
“I have now been to two talks Jan has given on getting the most out of LinkedIn. I came away from the second with a page full of notes and was able to implement four or five significant changes simply and quickly. Jan is the real deal for making LinkedIn an effective marketing tool.” Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, Creative. Paul Gellert, President at Gelco Real Estate Funding, Inc.
“Jan knows LinkedIn on a highly intuitive, totally accessible level for any user to get the most out of this powerful tool. She knows how to advise you on how to get started immediately and productively, with a plethora of easy, simple short cuts. Jan delivers the supreme “Getting Started Quickly” with the minimum of effort, plus the all insight and understanding so you feel like you really know what you are doing, because you simply do after working with her.” November 4, 2008. Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, Good Value. David Hoo, hired Jan as a Business Consultant in 2008, and hired Jan more than once
“Jan knows LinkedIn better than anyone I’ve met (and that’s saying a lot). She quickly moves from what-you-want to what-you-need-to-do-on-LinkedIn to get the most from it. I learned more with her in an hour than I had taught myself over the last few months. Two thumbs up!” Top qualities: Personable, Expert, Good Value. Mike Wittenstein, Customer Experience Designer, Consultant, Facilitator, and Speaker
“I am not a person that gives recommendations easily, and I feel I just have to endorse Jan Wallen. She is that good. Jan is one of those people that is blessed with huge talent in multiple areas. First there is her LinkedIn evangelist role. I recently took her LinkedIn Mini- Tutorial on how to get the most out of LinkedIn and was absolutely blown away. Honestly it got me so excited I felt she should put a warning on the course saying “do not operate heavy machinery” for 8 hours after taking this course”.
I am now able to connect with decision makers in Training and Development THAT ACTUALLY WANT TO HEAR FROM ME. When is the last time that happened to you? This is really moving my business ahead. Next up for Jan’s gifts is her sales and marketing advice. I have worked with her over the years and found that her advice is tailored to the individual, not just boilerplate stuff. For instance, with me, Jan discovered that I am an “early adopter” when it comes to spotting trends in the marketplace and have a tendency to jump into a market before it is ripe, and thus need to learn to build that into my plans. This has really helped my business move ahead.
Last but not least, Jan is a joy to work with, I love her personality, she really listens to what is being said and connects the dots and makes hard lessons fun.” Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert. Edward Smith, Coaches talk show hosts in improving their interviewing skills
I am the president and founder of the Fairchester Business Resource, a business education and networking group which holds monthly meetings to provide useful knowledge to business people in Fairfield County, Connecticut and Westchester County, New York. The Fairchester Business Resource engaged Jan Wallen as a speaker for our meeting – her topic was “LinkedIn Works! – Using LinkedIn to Find Clients in the Current Economy: 7 Easy Steps.”
Jan’s presentation brought the largest crowd of participants to our meeting in our two year history. She provided clear materials and examples to us and I believe everyone got a great deal of value from her presentation! It was a pleasure to have her present at our meeting.” Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Good Value. Isaiah D. Cooper, Founder and Managing Partner at Cooper Law LLC
