How many of you get those irritating sales messages as soon as you connect with someone? The #LinkedIn community is about serving, engaging and learning from each other first. It's not about spamming people with your sales messages.
I want to tell you about a great tip that I got from Craig Fisher, CEO of TalentNet Media, which I support with their recruiting conferences.
It's the 5:1 Give to Ask Ratio.
Give 5 times before you ask.
✅ Create content that serves your audience.
✅ Create value for others first.
✅ Post your tips, advice and expertise.
✅ Share highlights of your best practices.
✅ Tell a business story, the challenge you overcame and the lesson learned
✅ Support other people's journeys and engage on their posts.
⏩ That's how you showcase your value and build trust with your audience along the way.
⏩ After you've given value, then ask people to check out your website, sign up for a newsletter, download a white paper, buy your products or services, etc. Give 5 times, before you ask.
