Excerpts from this conversation with Marc W. Halpert
Linkedin is NOT a job board-----
05:04
Mark and you caught my attention with LinkedIn is not a job board. But that was the original purpose. And both you and I, as entrepreneurs, as business owners, we know that we need to be constantly marketing and selling, but a person who has a job, they think they can stop spreading their message, stop promoting themselves. And that's a danger.
05:40
It's a big mistake, worse than a danger. Because the moment you stop promoting yourself, your company is just making you one of the rats in the maze.
All right, you're just rolling around. If you can't convince other people in your company, maybe in other departments, or you want to rise to some other position about the value you bring to the company by how you project the company, marketing strategy, the marketing message, then you're just a worker bee.
Who wants to be a worker bee?
If you are not consistently adding material about what you accomplish on behalf of the company. You're not differentiating yourself within the company. You're not going to be in that company for you all your life your whole life.

Find the amazing in every person-----
But it makes it a privilege to connect to somebody. So I like to use the metaphor, someone walks up to your front door of your house, knock knock.
You say who's there? This, they'll say, Hi, I'm here knocking at your door. So hi, I'm here. with you on LinkedIn. What do you want? Why should I let you into my metaphorical house? Where my metaphorical family of connections that I nurture and take very good care of live?
Why? If you can't tell me at Knock, number one, that's not a knock number two.
Number three, sorry, I asked you twice.
I just don't. But sometimes I get people say, Well, I offered to connect with you. I didn't know you could do that. And I'm a good friend of so and so. And they said, Well, why don't you tell me that? Why didn't you sell save yourself and me the effort of volley balling this whole thing around? Oh, I didn't think about that. Well, why?
Then I'm beginning to make my own mental image of do I really want to be involved with this knucklehead? I mean, really? And who would I ever refer this person to if they don't do their homework and see, so if you read my LinkedIn profile, anybody listening?
Anybody listening, you read my LinkedIn profile, and you want to connect with me, there is this magic secret word in my profile that you have to include in your LinkedIn connection request to me, then I'll go, you're worth considering.
Because you took the time to read and you saw what I said.
