LinkedIn Conversations
Follow Deanna on LinkedInYou don’t have to be on LinkedIn 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
You do have to be strategic with who you engage with when you post content AND when you check in with people here. The key is to use your time in the most productive way possible. This post was inspired by a post by my friend Joel Lalgee yesterday. Joel is amazing both on and off LinkedIn and if...
Consistency is everything…in life…in business…and in LinkedIn.
Without consistency, you are like a car who is accelerating and slamming on the brakes every few seconds. You don’t really go anywhere and you get whiplash. Be consistent and you will enjoy a much smoother ride. #business#linkedin#leverageup
Proof is in the pudding.
We all want to be visible to the right people on this platform, right? We all want to start conversations, right? Here are some comments by others here… “Why post on the weekend? Are people REALLY on LinkedIn on the weekend?” “I’m so sick of polls. Why do people post so many polls?” “Why post...
When I was working in sales I had to make cold calls.
It was hard. I knew I had to do it. Strangers answering the phone and telling me “no”, hanging up on me and every now and then I’d get a “sure, I’ll meet with you”. Thing is, if I had been doing what I was supposed to be doing on LinkedIn back then, I wouldn’t have had to make as many cold calls....
“Given you are a marketing leader I understand you are busy and appreciate your time.”
That’s how one of the latest messages started. Someone I know who is a Director of Marketing gets at least 5 of these messages either via DM or email a day. They are sent by people who obviously keyword search, don’t look at his profile, and blindly send…because none of the services have anything...
When you’re meeting new people…do you mention/point out what you do for a living?
I’ve been meeting a lot of new people at my kids’ activities lately - scouts, soccer, etc. etc. I chat with them but most of the conversation surrounds kids and our recent move to the area. I get a raising of eyebrows when I tell them the stories of selling our house before we found a house here....
I read that bringing in new business is harder now than it was before Covid.
Is that true? I haven’t met a prospect face to face since I started this business. I’ve become very used to and acclimated to talking to people virtually. I can talk to people from Ireland, Malaysia, Philadelphia, Florida and the UK simply by going online for video calls. I’d like to know from...
I have over 23,000 followers/connections here. That doesn’t mean I’m a millionaire.
One doesn’t equal the other. Don’t get me wrong, LinkedIn is awesome. It’s not the be all and end all though. Building a business should include LinkedIn but you also have to diversify. #entrepreneur#purplesquirrelmagnet#leverageup
Did you know…
That 4.45 million people have B2B in their LinkedIn headline? 6.09 million have Account Executive in their headline? 37.6 million have Business Development in their headline? 2.08 million have Recruiter in their headline? 13.7 million have Human Resources in their headline? If you aren’t standing...
My LinkedIn profile views took a nose dive, yep they’re down 63%.
You know what? I’m not ready to jump off the tallest building or a cliff. I know exactly why those numbers have dropped so drastically. I haven’t engaged with people here as much as usual. I haven’t posted in 6 days. When the numbers drop, you just pull up bootstraps and hike up that hill again....
