Follow Deanna on LinkedInWoooo Hooooo!!!
You got this!!!So happy for you!!!You can do this!!! Those are just some of the words of encouragement I tell my clients, both verbally and online. Why? Because I’m a cheerleader. I was inspired to write this one over the weekend because I am always the one shouting for kids. One daughter is a...
The picture doesn’t do this post justice, but it’s my fault.
I was paying too close attention and I didn’t think, “I should have taken a picture” until several hours later. Last night I took my 9 year old daughter to our first Cleveland Cavaliers game. I didn’t plan on posting anything about it here. Oh yeah, it was our first NBA game, first Cavs game,...
How do you connect 3 hours of shoveling snow to LinkedIn?
That was my thought today. Consistency and maintenance is everything. I think I need to put it all in perspective before breaking this all down. My husband has done a fantastic job snowblowing the driveway... until the past 5 days or so. Then we haven't touched it. With temperatures hovering...
I can’t believe it’s been 3 years since we took this trip.
My kids’ first trip on an airplane. Their first trip to Walt Disney World. In some ways it seems like yesterday and in other ways it seems like many years (decades!) since we took this trip. I absolutely loved how these pilots took time out to talk to my kids…because… “Hello?! They were getting...
Never underestimate the power of an opening sentence, lead, or hook.
That's especially true when you're posting on LinkedIn. The goal is to get people's attention and then keep it. That's one of my "go to" advice when it comes to posting content on LinkedIn. What's worked for you?
UPDATE!
25 minutes after I reported the fake account, Twitter suspended it. Thank you Twitter for the fast work to keep the fake Deanna Russo people off Twitter! There is only one me, one Purple Squirrel Magnet. Never duplicated. 🙂 Where did “purple squirrel magnet” come from? Thanks for asking! 😁 Back...
Shake hands.
That’s a belief that I strongly believe in. I don’t believe that any of us are entitled to anything. I do believe that if people know, like and trust you, they will either refer business to you, do business with you, or say positive things about you. That’s why I showed up and shook hands today. I...
“How can I bring this to LinkedIn?”
That’s a question that’s constantly in my head. It’s in my head as I work with my clients but it’s also in my head during life, you know what happens when you’re not working . It was in my head as I was sitting in the “way” back seat with my oldest daughter driving back from a road trip for her...
Do you have a snapshot of your ideal client?
I do but there are multiple images. I work with people who know that there are people on LinkedIn who they know could be customers but they don’t know how to reach them. I work with companies where leaders know that customers are on LinkedIn. They also know that their sales teams are really good...
“Great post”
“Great advice”“Thanks for posting”“Great stuff”“Well said” These are all examples of what NOT to do. When you’re engaging with people here, how about adding to the conversation? If you simply comment with 2-3 words, how does that help your network get to know you? Think about it. If I go to a...
