I shook 16 hands in an hour on a Friday night on my sofa with Hell’s Kitchen on in the background.??
No, Gordon Ramsay I am not a joke, and I'm not joking either. It's networking at it’s finest.
Want to know why I know it was 16???I went back and scrolled through to count, because I wasn’t counting when I was commenting.??
Having conversations with people here is enjoyable to me.??I really enjoy shaking hands and commenting.??I never count how many posts I'm commenting on.
When there aren’t any comments on a post and I can share my insight, I LOVE being the only one to comment.

Out of those 16 comments at least 3 were on posts without a single comment.??My comment meant a lot to that person.
I know that because I met multiple clients by commenting. In fact, my comment on a prospect's post peeked his curiosity so much that he reached out to me to work with me.
The thing about building relationships on LinkedIn is this…if you are only shouting from the rooftop and not shaking hands…you are missing out. The thing about only posting content is it is self-serving.
We are all about getting to know each other, that’s why strategically shaking hands here is important.??To my knowledge, I’m the only person on LinkedIn who teaches engagement with my strategy.
Strategically shaking hands is what it’s all about.??I take my clients into conversations that they know they want to be part of…on LinkedIn.??
How many hands have you strategically shaken here???

2 年Love the way you phrased that. Shaking hands while watching Hell’s Kitchen in the background. It’s the ‘shaking hands’ part that stands out because that’s the perspective I still see lacking here generally on the platform. Joining conversations is critical to building relationships. And no matter the business one has on this platform, if you have something to sell, you need to engage your audience. Glad you’re in my scroll daily Deanna Russo because your tops at keeping it real and relevant!
