Is LI just a place for the "popular" people in HS to stroke their egos and feel important?

Just reading this dude's post how he was nervous becoming an AE and was worried about achieving success in his new role. Then he says he woke up to two deals and banged out a selfie lmao.


Idk maybe I'm just a jaded SDR but I can't stand LI. I can link it but it's virial I'm sure you can find it.

There are many, many posts here about LI being a cesspool of navel-gazing circle jerking.

Basically, yes.

Does the sale even count if you didn't "bang out a selfie"?

I'm just a little jaded SDR poking fun that's all! But I'll adopt your attitude.

Haha no I love it and know you are. There's a fine line when it comes to humility and being totally shameless.

Those that peaked in HS, like Uncle Rico, might be spending their time trying to throw a football over them mountains.

The cool kids on LI often seem like the ones that got pantz'd too much in HS and are making up for lost time.

Some of LI is useful or I find interesting. I find the Meme or politic sharing items far more annoying than sharing a sale. That stuff grinds my gears.

[RANT]. Funny how some prospects / customers feel so entitled when it comes to sales folks!
