How to use LinkedIn strategically to
raise funds, attract partnerships and media attention
without relying on cold outreach
or other people’s address books to open doors
For Teams of 10 or more people
The offline world is designed to keep your team out:
Cold outreach is inconsistent and often ignored, so your fundraisers cannot get the meetings they need.
Comms is creating content, but not creating lead.
You know you should be using LinkedIn more strategically, but it is not obvious how.
You are trying to start funding conversations with people who do not know you, your organisation or why they should speak to you.
Meanwhile, LinkedIn gives your team a way to build a warm network, visibility and familiarity so people WILL return your emails, invites or calls.
That is what this team training is designed to do.
Michelle Benson shows your fundraisers, comms and digital colleagues, and/or senior leaders how to:
✅ Build a network of senior decision-makers
✅ Get your organisation seen by funders, partners and other high-value contacts
✅ Use content strategically to create visibility and leads
✅ Warm up relationships so you are no longer a cold call when you message
✅ Create more opportunities for funders and partners to find and approach you
This is not about getting everyone to post more.
It is about turning LinkedIn into a joined-up route to meetings, relationships and opportunities.
So instead of constantly trying to start conversations with people who have never heard of you, you build familiarity first.
So funders can find and come to you.
ENQUIRE ABOUT TEAM TRAINING
Your group might be entirely fundraisers or include colleagues from comms, digital, senior leadership or trustees. Each team member can work through the course in their own time and at their own pace, with live group sessions to bring the learning together and personal coaching from Michelle Benson throughout.
We start together with a live webinar to introduce the strategy, get everyone focused and answer questions.
At the end of the programme, we come back together for a live wrap-up session to review progress, answer questions and make sure everyone is up and running.
Both webinars are recorded and shared with the team.
The complete LinkedIn strategy is taught through a series of practical, step-by-step videos.
Each team member works through them in their own time and at their own pace.
Under every video, your team can ask Michelle Benson questions and get personal one-to-one coaching as they apply what they are learning to their own role, profile, network and target audience.
Your team gets ready-made, proven AI prompts to help them put the strategy into practice.
The prompts help them create their LinkedIn profile, develop content ideas and write content designed to get them FOUND by the funders and partners they want to attract.
