QUOTES
Lindsey on what LinkedIn really is for: "It's just keeping in mind that LinkedIn is just a tool. It's an entry point for conversation. I would have to say that anyone who I've worked with in the last almost 10 years, doing what I've been doing: the goal is to get offline, schedule the zoom meeting or the phone call or the in-person meeting. I've seen more and more often people forgetting that."
Lindsey on the pitfalls of automation in LinkedIn outreach: "I don't want to go down the whole path of talking about automation and all that. But I do think when automation is used well, it can be an additive and a helpful tool. But I see so many people using it the wrong way and abusing it and assuming that it is the only way to get those appointments on the calendar."
Walker on the negative effects of using a bot for your outreach: "We on the receiving end, we can tell when it's a bot. We know when it's not sincere. And so we go back to that person, if we do at all with an insincere response back. You give what you get."
