5C Manufacturing LinkedIn Team Sprint

Turn LinkedIn training into a 45-day team pilot

Give one manufacturing cohort the skills, practice, and weekly support to test whether LinkedIn can become a repeatable part of its work. End with evidence for a decision to stop, repeat, or scale.

Discuss this program

Is this the right starting point?

Choose the Team Sprint when your company sees an opportunity in its people’s expertise but needs to test participation before a wider rollout. A named sponsor, a defined cohort, and time for real practice make the pilot useful.

Choose the Workshop for an immediate skill or foundation need. Choose the Enablement Program when the decision to build a company capability is already made and managers, governance, and a company playbook need to be included.

Prepare one cohort around a business priority

The Sprint adds preparation and adoption checks to live learning and application. Connect the cohort to a defined priority: better visibility with target accounts, stronger event follow-through, or clearer communication of technical expertise.

Record a baseline before interpreting change. Useful starting evidence includes profile quality, the relevance of participants’ networks, existing participation habits, and the quality of business conversations. Choose measures your team can collect consistently.

Learn the full 5C system and use it in real work

Participants learn Credibility, Connections, Content, Conversations, and Consistency. Weekly support gives the cohort time to practice, bring questions, and improve the work. Sellers, leaders, marketers, and experts apply one shared system through their own responsibilities.

A seller might improve a proof point and identify relevant people at an account. An application expert might explain a recurring tradeoff. Marketing can help turn approved expertise into useful material while preserving each participant’s voice. These are examples of application, not additional promised deliverables.

Review adoption before deciding to scale

At the end of the 45 days, compare the evidence with the baseline and review it with the sponsor. Look for skills used outside the training session, participation the cohort can sustain, and conversations with relevant people. Document what required support and what prevented participation.

The decision is whether to stop, repeat, or scale. Separate skill improvement and behavior change from commercial outcomes. A long manufacturing sales cycle may not produce a closed deal during a 45-day pilot, and influenced opportunities should not be presented as proven incremental revenue.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Team Sprint cost?

The 45-day Team Sprint is $18,500 for up to 50 people. It includes the full 5C system, real-work application, weekly support, and adoption review.

Is the Sprint only for sales teams?

No. A cohort can include leaders, sellers, marketers, and subject-matter experts. They learn one shared system and apply it through their work.

What happens after the pilot?

The sponsor reviews the baseline comparison and adoption evidence to decide whether to stop, repeat, or scale. A wider implementation is a separate decision.
