“A bigger following means more sales.” It’s a common idea is sales, but it’s a big mistake on LinkedIn. I’ve grown my LinkedIn following by 185% in the last 2 years (from about 7,000 people to 13,064 as of the writing of this article). But by itself, that’s just a vanity metric. Having a large audience is nice, but it shouldn’t be your true goal. Making meaningful connections with the right people is what you should be aiming for.

Today, there is 1 $100B+ SaaS Company, Salesforce. Just one. We could add older companies like Adobe, Microsoft, etc. but they aren’t pure SaaS plays. Salesforce is the “only” $100b+ pure-play SaaS company. But it won’t be the last. There are 15 more at $10B+ or close to it: That’s enough that as crazy as it sounds, not only can you plan on becoming a Unicorn after say $10m ARR.

In 2018, 40% of people used social media channels for aspects of product research. With younger generations getting more and more connected to social media platforms, the amount of product research done on these platforms is likely to grow. In fact, 16 to 24-year-olds already conduct product research more on social than search engines. Throughout the past few years, social media channels have embraced their new role as product research platforms, devoting certain areas or features of their platf

Today’s buyers expect more than generic outreach–they want relevant, personalized interactions that address their specific needs. For sales teams managing hundreds or thousands of prospects, however, delivering this level of personalization without automation is nearly impossible. The key is integrating AI in a way that enhances customer engagement rather than making it feel robotic.

As Jerry Maguire once said -- "Show me the money.". That phrase is probably something you've thought of as a marketer who has invested in paid advertising. With paid advertising, you want to enhance your marketing campaign by showing up in the right place, at the right time, with the right content. But sometimes, running paid ads -- like pay-per-click (PPC) on Google -- feels like you're spending a lot of money without seeing any results.

Do you look for a specific show, watch the trailer and if you like the trailer, watch it? Or, do you look at all of the new releases, or everything in a particular genre, narrow down the selections, watch several trailers, and finally choose one?
