Co-Founder

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!!

Founder | Owner | Operator

Automate, integrate & optimize your employee referral program with ERIN 🦥

In 2020 when the pandemic hit, I found myself closing up my 12-year journey building a successful fitness business with my wife. With dozens of employees, 5 locations & 7 figures in ARR now being forced to shutdown, I felt lost.

So, I turned to LinkedIn to find a new path for my life and started building a network.

Fast forward 6 months, I "broke" into tech sales as a 35-year-old SDR at a fast-moving start-up out of San Francisco in the HR/TA Tech space.

Applying my entrepreneurial grit & grind approach, I quickly adapted to this new environment, moving into an AE role and full cycle selling.

With a healthy run of success over the next 15 months we were acquired by a Talent CRM company in London, moving me into a more complex role selling into the global enterprise TA/HR market.

I then found an opportunity to lead a team for a long-standing recruitment marketing firm, running enterprise sales for the West Coast and sales enablement for North America, which was cut short when I faced the first layoff of my life.

Shortly after I found ERIN and joined their enterprise team, automating and optimizing employee referral programs for organizations globally. 

My path in HR/TA tech finally lead me to a giant in the space, HireVue, connecting talent to opportunity for some of the world's largest organizations on their enterprise team!

Moral of the story? 
Don't get too comfortable.
Tomorrow might throw you a curveball. 
Just show up every day, smile and give it 100%.
