How to Build More than 30,000 Connections on LinkedIn with Pamela Goodwin

LinkedIn is not only a great place to showcase your accomplishments, it’s also a valuable platform to find business opportunities and cultivate relationships. On today’s episode, we talk with Pamela Goodwin, commercial real estate mogul and entrepreneur, about how she has grown a substantial LinkedIn following and uses it to grow her business. We discuss with Pam the power of telling your story and being authentic, what does and what doesn’t work on social media, and how she’s moving through her journey with cancer. Pam shares the biggest mistake people are making on LinkedIn, tips for how to remain consistent with content, and most importantly, the results that come from her growing accounts.  Pamela J. Goodwin’s interest in entrepreneurship started when she was four years old. Her first venture was a lemonade stand, and then worked in the family’s poultry business, to tenant coordination/project management with several large shopping center owners, to developing more than 50 pad sites with Brinker Int. (Chili’s and On the Border). Being an entrepreneur, Pamela decided to start her own company in 2006. What distinguishes her from others in her field of expertise is she has a long record of successfully guiding local and national clients (Walgreen’s, McDonald’s, Chase Bank to name a few) with their commercial real estate acquisitions, lease obligations and consulting services. Pamela is the founder and CEO of Goodwin Commercial based in Dallas, TX, a boutique commercial real estate and consulting firm specializing in developing retail and restaurant pad sites. She has been featured in BisNow, Texas Real Estate Business, Shopping Center Business and the Dallas Business Journal. Pamela graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (yes, big Cornhusker football fan) and has authored two books.   On today’s episode, we discuss a ton with Pam, including: Ways to grow a social media account to support your business How to create engaging content that people will love How social platforms build your credibility Ways to find and create business opportunities from LinkedIn   Books/Resources Episode 23: Crushing it in Commercial Real Estate Investing with Pamela Goodwin Three Feet From Gold by Sharon Lechter   Contact Information LinkedIn- Pamela J.
