When to Give and When to Ask
from Fanny Dunagan Show Hosted by Fanny Dunagan
How many of you get those irritating sales messages as soon as you connect with someone? The #LinkedIn community is about serving, engaging and learning from each other first. It's not about spamming people with your sales messages. I want to tell you about a great tip that I got from Craig Fisher, CEO of TalentNet Media, which I support with their recruiting conferences. It's the 5:1 Give to Ask Ratio. Give 5 times before you ask. ✅ Create content that serves your audience. ✅ Create value for others first. ✅ Post your tips, advice and expertise. ✅ Share highlights of your best practices. ✅ Tell a business story, the challenge you overcame and the lesson learned ✅ Support other people's journeys and engage on their posts. ⏩ That's how you showcase your value and build trust with your audience along the way. ⏩ After you've given value, then ask people to check out your website, sign up for a newsletter, download a white paper, buy your products or services, etc. Give 5 times, before you ask.
