Here’s how to dramatically improve your LinkedIn banner.

This trick would improve 90% of the profiles out there. 


Just add a short sentence about the value you offer. 


(you have to be succinct for it to work) 


Don’t try to type out a paragraph. If it looks crowded, no one’s going to read it. 


→ Fun fact: I used to be a graphic designer. 


All you need is a snappy sentence about the transformation you offer. 


Here’s a good template to work with, “What would your life look like if _______?” 


If you’re not sure how to write your banner text, use that to start. 


A mentor a few years back taught me that trick and it’s been really successful.
