Stu used his experience as a cartoonist to add humour to his sales campaigns. It worked so well that he ended up writing a book about it. The book opened doors to many new collaborations with others.

His unique take on sales, the book and collaborations all combine to create an unfair advantage and a distinctness that simply canโ€™t be matched by competitors.

Whatโ€™s your unfair advantage?

Invest in building relationships with potential buyers by showing up as a resource. Share resources that may be of value to them.

If youโ€™re going to bombard them with messages inviting them to a sales call, youโ€™re simply not building rapport and will end up killing any chances of working together.

How do you show up as a resource for your potential buyers?

LinkedIn’s algorithm has reportedly limited our contentโ€™s reach, but thereโ€™s no limit to how responsive YOU are.

There’s no limit to:

โ€ข Optimizing your profile to get more people to find you
โ€ข Creating more relevant content
โ€ข Having more conversations in public (comments) and via direct messages

Focus on what you can control and not on things you canโ€™t, such as LinkedInโ€™s algorithm.

How are you being more responsive onย linkedin?
