LinkedIn Right Now?
LinkedIn has become a different platform in the last few years than it initially was. Currently filled with self-promoting posts. Everyone claims they are the experts in the x segment of the business and that they can guarantee you results - most are not experts and can’t bring any results. One of the first signs someone is incompetent is based on how loud they are. Humans, in that sense, are quite similar to animals. Often the loudest ones are the ones you should not be afraid of. The same principle applies to doing business with them. At the same time, we have met quite a few sales reps who are posting motivating guru posts. Playing the algorithm game successfully and turning it to their advantage - into the inbound game. Profiting off it. Without a doubt, it’s an interesting method to hit quota.
