LinkedIn For Salespeople
The show is kicked off with Melonie explaining that it’s probably possible right now in 2016 to close deals with nothing more than a smart phone with the LinkedIn app.
“They’re just clicking that connect button. They’re not sending the personalised message. They’re not getting accepted most of the time.” – Melonie Dodaro
Melonie then shares the importance of not spamming on LinkedIn (or any other platform) because it’s too easy for people to ignore your requests and so the effort put into scaling your connections without customising your requests it 100% wasted.
“It’s really about what those deals do FOR THEM” – Melonie Dodaro
The show is wrapped up with Melonie describing how she’s motivated day to day. It’s the same thing that motivates Will at the deepest level and that is personal freedom.
