Imagine I sent you this message on LinkedIn:
Hi, my name is Jurgen Appelo. I give keynote talks at conferences and business events and I’m specialized in management and leadership. When you organize an event, I am the person you need. Would tomorrow be a good day to call you about this? How about 9:00 am?
This sound ridiculous because it is. In my opinion, this is, by far, the worst way to offer a product or a service to someone. Sadly, I get such messages every day. I always report them as spam, and then I delete them (after replying with a link to this article)…
