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...
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...
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...
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...

While I know that my previous positions led me to where I am now as building blocks, I can’t help but think, “What do people think when they browse my experience?” Do people see that a combination of content marketing, social media management and sales have led me to...
You don’t always need to post with a picture. I’ve done numerous posts that were straight text, no images. Back when I started posting content here, nearly 3 years ago, I went out of my way to add a picture. Now it’s not as big of a deal. I will say...
Someone sent me this question in a DM. So I’m happy to pass along a reminder. Automation isn’t authentic.Automation isn’t organic.Automation isn’t real people engaging or posting or communicating via DM. Automation doesn’t belong here on this platform. Don’t automate....
The number of connection requests coming in has gone down dramatically. I appreciate that because LinkedIn caps all connection requests at 30,000. Meanwhile, there is no cap on follower requests. Follow first, get to know that person, connect if it makes sense....
