Having command of the message doesn’t matter if it is ignored or rejected.

Google is favoring content “ by people, for people ” over content written with search engines in mind in a new and extensive search algorithm update. The changes are responsive to user frustration when clicking on links that rank well in search but lead to content designed to rank well in search rather than be helpful or informative. We know people don’t find content helpful if it seems like it was designed to attract clicks rather than inform readers.

Sales has a high turnover rate. Anyone who has spent considerable time in the profession has seen salespeople come and go, from the chronic job-hoppers to the short-termers: those who dipped their toe into the water, only to move on when things didn’t work out exactly as planned. There is, however, a significant difference between those who quit their job for the right reasons and those who quit for the wrong ones.

The most important thing you need to know about using LinkedIn for prospecting is what not to do. The social platforms require a different strategy, one that is based on a pull approach instead of a push approach.
