This is some of the shittiest advice I've ever seen.

This is why you don't listen to LinkedIn influencers

This is a dumpster fire.
If you're not prepared to take the call, let it go to fucking voicemail. In fact, I screen every call I get and unless I know who the person is and what they're calling about, they go to voicemail first. Why tf would I want to be caught off guard?
The person who wrote this deserves to be pressure washed within an inch of their life.

This is the way.ย
I know that person lol and letโs just say that this guy is full of shit and it drives me crazy that people believe his bullshitโฆ I can confirm heโs a complete moron.
I miss you โค
I miss you too @CuriousFox! Itโs been a busy couple of months, but Iโll be back!
I'm absolutely calling with a pitch. WTF?
Also, why did they answer the phone if they weren't prepared?

Also, any salesperson with half a brain can have a conversation about what their product is and who their prospects are. Be a fucking human good god.ย
I have to find this and politely rip this person a new one on my personal LinkedIn to save some morons from heeding this garbage. When was this posted? I'll track it down
I found it.
Today.
Let the brigade begin!!

Hey Josh if u are reading this: lol u rly rly dumb
I just shit on him on LI
I know who u are now
Can we all agree not to dox each other.
If you're so sure, send me an inmail ;)
I'm fine with being doxxed as long as you reveal my name and photo of me in the shower along with it. Don't do me dirty.
what's the fun in that
I can't dox paddy tho, he has way too much dirt on me and the statute of limitations on it ain't up yet
The dirt goes both ways. We're basically in a stalemate here
It's true. Not that I'd ever dox u, the world doesn't deserve paddy
My eyes are bleeding. Jesus Christ

The amount of AEs chiming in on that post agreeing with it hurts my head. How bad of a rep do you have to be to need your computer for a brief phone conversation ๐
Those are the AEs who have their lips permanently glued to their sales manager's anus but still don't get the good leads because they fukkin succ
yup
You know, I really h8 LI influencers but you know who else I h8?
The first person that told them they were special and that people wanted to hear their opinion on literally anything. These cowards are out here creating annoying fucking gremlins to annoy every last fuck out of LI users instead of destroying these blowhard's self esteem on sight. I h8 them HARDCORE

Update: After some really smart and good looking people pointed out how stupid this is author is walking it back:
"This would be for when a prospect calls you back and isn't willing to give up any information (name, company etc) until you tell them what it's about."
So I cold call Paddy, leave a VM. Paddy calls me back and refuses to say who they are. I defuse this by saying: "Let's pencil in time to continue this conversation..."

Sure Jan.
Sure budย
^^^ thatโs Canadian for go fuck yourself btw
He wouldnโt need to defuse things if he wasnโt a fucking moron.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This post is Gong/10
Also....
The amount of people who have told me they donโt X budget but it turned out there was a way to find the money is significant. Thatโs not that big of an objection.
No comment since they're always watching...
Yeah, this is also a colloaslly bad take.
Thats how you lets opps go down
Lol donโt answer the phone ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
WOW. How can this person be incapable of giving an overview of the company and the product they sell? Thatโs such a waste of time to give that speech, any prospect would be turned off immediately. Someone should ask if this dude got the meeting ๐ (he probably didnโt)
Currently scanning the comments to pick out who I think you all are ๐
Anyone who saw this should be mad for the ~10 seconds of their life being spent reading this
Always be in control.
This makes no sense at all.
*continues with a slight chuckle* aha
Are we connected to the same tool?
@bandabanda hahaha
if you can't have an impromptu conversation about your product then you shouldn't be in sales. Clearly all you're capable of is reading from a script in front of your computer.ย
What a nightmare
These comments are refreshing. Worked for a start up where our Biz Dev Director would constantly reference LinkedIn posts as coaching and the gospel in ways to improve. Youโd see him comment on LinkedIn everyday but I had one conversation with him in 8 months. Always thought it lazy and counterproductive.ย
