I love infographics. But sometimes must question if they are accurate.

This one gives some great tips. I like the direction this infographic is taking, but I’m not sure all the data is 100% accurate. I wonder if this reflects certain kinds of businesses. For example B2B vs B2C… are all these tips relevant for both? What about the porn industry, do you think they post durring business hours? Not that this was meant for the porn industry, but this may change the game depending upon your industry.

Linkedin is a powerful tool. Are you taking advantage of it’s power?

I have been prospecting a lot recently and so this has stirred up many connection requests in Linkedin. Do you get people wishing to connect to you all the time? I didn’t have this happen to often before I was doing a lot of online prospecting. Maybe I got one every few months, or a handful a year… max.

Have you ever had a burning business question you just didn’t know how to answer?

Have ever used Linkedin’s Answer tool to get your question answered? If not you were missing out on a powerful tool. If you said yes, it sounds like Linkedin will be removing this tool at the end of the month. It is a sad day if this is the case.

Sometimes you have an opportunity to work with new partners/clients and you always have to ask yourself why are we doing this?
