Call me, IF...

I made a Facebook post on Tuesday that asked two questions:
1. Do you enjoy being my friend here?
2. Are we actually friends?
It dawns on me that while I have LOTS of connections...I'm not totally sure how many friends I have.
I mean sure it seems like I have a lot on my birthday, but don't we all feel that way?
It dawned on me that a better question would have been:
Do you have my phone number in your phone?
Honestly this wouldn't be much of a feat...
My phone number has been imprinted all over the world wide web for a number of years.
But that doesn't mean anyone took the time to enter the number and create an actual contact. That would be crazy!
Fun fact, you and I probably still get the same amount of robo calls. Hit me up with any good stories about how you mess with those.
Anyway the whole thing got me thinking: people might be more likely to call if they knew when they should.
Are you getting as many calls as you'd like?
If not, is it possible people aren't sure when to call you? I spent a few minutes thinking through why folks should call me.
I suggest you do the same.

5 年A solid article Terry. Have you shared this link outside of LinkedIn (Facebook, Twitter) and merchandised it across LinkedIn (status update, groups) etc?
