Around 466K people have viewed my LinkedIn profile since early 2022, you might want to save this post because I am going to tell you why this deeply matters and how to possibly achieve this yourself. And no, nothing is gated - you just get it here by reading.

When you get someone to your profile:

they can binge content (learn) 
they can read recommendations (trust)
they can go to your website (tracking & revenue)
they can confirm authenticity (more trust)
they can see where you engage (new people to learn from)
they can see common connections (more trust)
they can read about you (curiosity) 

How to do it:

1 - Comment often on other's content because this puts your name in rooms you have never been in before. Not just little comments because you feel like you have to but deep and interesting thought filled engagement. And for the LOVE OF ALL THINGS LINKEDIN - please stop engaging solely with your 1st degree connections. Aim for 15 comments per day to new people.

2 - Create content from 4 pillars, you can't look the same daily. The 4 pillars are here in this post via a visual (https://lnkd.in/ekkgGrgs)

3 - Follow 5 people daily, many of you expect followers but never follow anyone.

4 - Connect with humans you actually want to engage with, it is wildly important to actually take a look at someone's profile before you add them into your sphere. Do they post? Do they engage? Can you learn from them? Do you have common connections? Are they kind? Do they add value to you? Can you add value to them?

5 - Recognize people when they actually visit your page. Closed my largest deal of the year with a CMO of a massive org by simply saying, "Mark! Thanks for stopping by, appreciate you." Went on to coach his entire revenue org out west. 

6 - Don't be afraid to click the repost (don't add thoughts) when you see good content in your feed, I am tracking this data hard right now and my profile views deeply spike when I do this - gets you into another sphere of talented humans.

7 - DM's are everything. New connections, dm them. Old connections, dm them. Introduce people to people in DMs (did you know you can send group dms to folks? yea that is a game changer)

8 - Be sure your profile is complete. Headline easy to read, like 5th grade level. About section filled out. Featured section done. Banner photo complete. Recommendations down below. The list goes on but you have to have get your house in order here if you want people to come visit. 

Ok.

That is enough now, go do some of this stuff and watch what happens over the next 15 months. Your mind will be blown by the opportunities that fall into your lap after 450 days of consistency!!

Workforce Transformation + Economic Mobility = A Future Where Everyone Can Thrive | Intuit + Bloomberg + Microsoft + Seismic + Branch Alumnus | Redemptive Leadership | #LearnTeachLearn

Two transformative life lessons were ingrained in me during my humble start as a 15-year-old busboy at a restaurant called "Spinnakers." There, I discovered the invaluable importance of humility and selflessness in leadership. These foundational principles have shaped my approach in my journey from individual contributor to senior executive, driving me to cultivate an environment that prioritizes service, collaboration, and continuous growth.

With over 25 years of experience in the sales and customer service industries, my leadership has been marked by the strategic integration of these core values. My expertise spans various sectors, including retail and hospitality, where I have successfully led organizations through periods of significant growth and change.

As a results-driven executive, I have consistently delivered exceptional outcomes for the businesses I have served in. My achievements can be attributed to my commitment to fostering strong teams and empowering people to excel through a culture of learning and innovation.

In my capacity as a leader, I maintain an unwavering dedication to the pursuit of knowledge, which fuels my ability to adapt and evolve in a rapidly changing landscape. I take pride in leveraging my experience and insights to serve others, both within and outside of my organization.

In today's highly competitive business environment, it is crucial to prioritize genuine human connections and collaborative approaches. As an executive, I speak fluent "Human" and firmly believe that authenticity and empathy are integral to cultivating a culture of trust and respect among stakeholders.

By blending my early life lessons with my extensive professional experience, I continue to champion a leadership style that values humility, service, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. This approach has not only propelled my career but also enriched the organizations and teams I have had the privilege of leading.
