Use keywords wisely

What this means is that you must use keywords in your profile information by anticipating what your potential clients are likely to use when searching for people like you. You should be using key phrases by focusing on what your clients will type when searching for products and services, or anything that they are looking for, or wanting to know.

Your job is to provide solutions to your client's problems and, therefore, make sure that in your conversations you are absolutely clear on what you are going to offer to them.
