“Initially I was more of a passive LinkedIn participant. After learning how to leverage LinkedIn from Laura Virili I was able to source an introduction thru the Advanced Search feature which resulted in an $8M account! LinkedIn has jump-started my prospecting efforts. The power of this tool is incredible.”
Ron J. CIMA® SVP, Wealth Management Advisor

“After hesitantly joining one of my firm’s webcasts on how to leverage LinkedIn, I was so impressed with the presentation that I tracked the presenter down. It was Laura, and since our first call my revenue YTD is up 36%, annuitized PCs up 70% and fee based up 48% with almost $50M in net new assets. Laura’s ability to help me laser focus on referrals has made LinkedIn the partner in my business I’ve been looking for.  Simply put, Laura has the know-how and the business savvy to help execute your business plans.”
