Connections should be based on quality, not quantity.
LinkedIn can work without posting—relationship-building matters more.
Don't accept all invites—assess the lead before connecting.
Vanity metrics (likes, followers) don’t drive revenue.
Use mutual connections to request introductions.
End presentations with a strong message, not Q&A.
“What's in it for me?” should drive your messaging.
Use LinkedIn milestones (birthdays, job changes) to maintain real connections.
Your LinkedIn profile needs regular feedback and updating to stay aligned with your business.
