Editor's Notes
- From the get-go, think about how you can leverage this for your own industry (mine being marketing/advertising, yours research)
- Share contact information in “about me / linkedin bio” (if you want to be reached!)
- Share your portfolio, if you’re ready. Image with link / projects. Not just blank url. Catches eye.
- I deleted a lot of tweets, unfollowed a lot of people/accounts.
- Trickles down from website / blog portfolio other sites.
- At least familiarize yourself with the players.
- Real relationships, and trust, are the only things that will get you somewhere.
- Share projects you’ve done at high level – don’t have to do graphs etc. One sentence insight. Let people know you have valuable insights before ever talking. Thought leadership / methodology.
- Cater content around specific industry/job/company? For you all, might be much more quantitative and around your research methodology.
- Long-winded example. Shorter the better. 7 second attention span / gold fish 7 touch points to make a sale in biz dev
