Need a Ticket to a Multi-Platinum LinkedIn Profile?
In May, I had dinner at the Tin Lizzy’s Mexican Restaurant in Atlanta, with two of the most down-to-earth and high-spirited LinkedIn /Social Media Trainers. They are known as Mike O’Neil and Lori Ruff, of Integrated Alliances; the world’s first Social Networking, LinkedIn & Social Media training company. As a dynamic speaking team, Mike and Lori are highly trained expert connectors who deliver social media training with the type of energy compared to a live rock concert.
They know how to party, too! For real!!!!

Who would turn down some young entrepreneurs? Check out the video, they are so adorable!
