No Phone Calls or Mailing Lists
Nothing offends me more than making a new LinkedIn connection, then getting an immediate message wanting a phone call. "I would like a few minutes of your time." No! I am not willing to spend a split second on the phone listening to your sales pitch. If you cannot adequately describe your product or service in a message, email or website, I am not at all interested in what you have to offer. Phone calls are dead! Cold calls are more dead!
I like written record of what I discuss with anyone. If what you are offering has piqued my interest enough, then and only then will I become involved in a phone call.
And PLEASE don't automatically add me to your mailing list because we are connected on LinkedIn. If I want on your mailing list, I will surely let you know.
If this comes off poorly, so be it. I get over 200 inquiries per day. I try to personally look at each and every one of them. It has become increasingly difficult to sort through the junk that I did not sigh up for.
Add misleading job title here.
6 年I have just the same issue with LinkedIn. I am not automatically going to post peoples stories or read their surveys either. Sending multiple increasingly agitated messages also won't work. You would think LI would be clever enough to spot and pull these messages and ban the account right away. I have a feeling they are not because 90% of the users here are spamming away!
