The Costly LinkedIn Mistakes That Entrepreneurs Keep Making ft. Daniel Alfon | The Kronos Group Podcast #296

I've watched a lot of platforms come and go. What hasn't changed is this: business still moves through relationships. In this episode of The Kronos Group Podcast, I sat down with Daniel Alfon, one of the earliest LinkedIn users, to talk about why most entrepreneurs are frustrated with LinkedIn — and why it's usually not the platform's fault. Daniel's been on LinkedIn since the early 2000s. He's made the mistakes, chased the metrics, tried the automation — and figured out what actually works for business owners. Here's the short version: LinkedIn isn't social media. It's the world's largest business network. In this conversation, we break down: Why networking beats posting every time The difference between most connected and best connected Why vanity metrics don't translate to revenue How referrals really happen on LinkedIn Why peer groups outperform ads and automation If you're running a business between $1M–$25M in revenue, this episode will change how you think about LinkedIn — and relationships in general.
