The Worst Thing You Can Do After Connecting On LinkedIn (This Might Surprise You)

Posted September 21, 2017

Image result for the worst

You’d probably think that the worst thing you can do after connecting on LinkedIn is launching into a pitch, right?

There’s actually something more dangerous and actually more prevalent;

Connecting and then doing nothing!

And that, ladies and gentlemen is what the vast majority of people do on LinkedIn;

Connect and then focus their time posting sh*t instead of communicating with their network.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with posting stuff but riddle me this;

How many people in your network have ever made ANY attempt to communicate with you once you agreed to connect?

So as much as I despise the person who immediately launches into a pitch;

At least they’re making an attempt to do something with their network.

Here’s a question you should be able to answer in your sleep;

What is my communication plan from the moment someone connects with me on LinkedIn?

The average person will avoid that question because they have NOTHING, NADA, ZIP when it comes to a communication plan.

So they don’t do anything and then write LinkedIn off as a waste of time.

Or they don’t do anything and just putter along thinking all they have to do is post stuff.

Either way;

Money is being left on the table!

On October 5th, at 11:30 am EST, I’m going to take you behind the scenes and show you how I do it,

And I’m going to offer it free of “fluff”, stupid training acronyms or philosophical nonsense.

Just the tactics!

I’m going to show you:

  • What to say and do, from the moment, you connect with someone. And I’m going to give you all 10 of the templates that I’ve been using!
  • How to position yourself as an expert without coming across like a tool. You’re welcome!
  • How to provide value WITHOUT conditioning a bunch of freeloaders who love to “friendzone” you! Another lesson that I learned the hard way!
  • How to create a referral machine . . .Even with people who’ve never bought from you!
  • How to IMMEDIATELY increase your phone appointments right from your LinkedIn network.
  • How to use LinkedIn Publisher to create MORE opportunities even if you have no clue what to write about.
  • How to dramatically increase your response rates via LinkedIn.
  • How to approach someone without coming across as salesy.
  • How to do this all on a tight schedule (I mean, I’m sure you don’t have all day to play around on LinkedIn, right?

And I ABSOLUTELY WON’T show you a damn thing about improving your LinkedIn profile.

Why?

Because I’ll leave that for every other “Expert” to beat to death.

Personally, I think we should focus our efforts on actually being SOCIAL on a social network. The mechanics of LinkedIn really need to take a back seat to the SOCIAL part!
