Posted October 6, 2016

Could It Really Be Possible . . .

That we can connect with others on LinkedIn, and nurture them into viable sales opportunities, instead of getting stuck in the “friend zone”?

Well good luck with that one until . . .

You’ve come up with a good plan and by the way . . .

It’s a bit of a sticky situation!

If you come across as too aggressive and “salesy” you get unfriended, unfollowed and labeled “that guy”.

If you hold back too much you just end up with a bunch of internet buddies or, worse yet, a bunch of people you’ve never interacted with.
