If you're a great date, partner, or parent, you're likely great at influencer partnerships. You're genuinely interested in the person You're intentional about creating a great space for them to be themselves You're excited to experience moments with them You care about what's going on in their lives outside of their direct interaction with you You're open and genuine in your desire for connection You're patient for the relationship to become fruitful You're honest with your intentions You're happy to support them and their pursuits You show up willing to work together in the face of challenges If these qualities sound foreign to you then I have bad news lol. #marketing #strategy #influencerpartnerships

We’re quick to judge. Today, I read a post throwing shade at influencers because they’re not “sales experts” (whatever that means). Everything people share, regardless of who they are, is based on their experience and their mental model of how selling works. We all make decisions through our own lenses, experiences, and worldviews. Remember: People are sharing perspectives, not facts. Focus on the teachings, not the teachers. Good ideas can come from anyone. Try what you want. See what works for you. Oh and turn the judgement switch off :-)

LinkedIn just gave your company a bit more of a megaphone. From April LinkedIn will make a change to their Thought Leader Ads so you can promote posts from happy customers, industry experts, journalists etc – who give you permission. (It used to be just limited to your employee's posts.) It's a great way to reach new people, build trust and tap into influence. * 📣 Amplify the voices of the people who like your brand. Customers, experts, influencers... anyone who can speak authentically about your company or industry. * 🧠 Share insights, not just ads. Thought leadership builds trust way faster than trying to sell. * 🤝 Give your network a reason to engage. Testimonials and expert opinions spark conversations. * 📣 Use for brand awareness or engagement campaigns on influencer's single image or video posts Why it matters: * Nearly 73% of decision-makers find thought leadership content more trustworthy than traditional marketing. 👇 Link in the comments. #thoughtleadership #linkedinads #branding #b2bmarketing

LinkedIn has become a petri dish for made up inspo posts, fake stories of extreme employment situations, another avenue for empty sales cold calls, and radical “professional” influencers. How do we get this platform back to its roots of digital networking and professional problem solving?

Somebody in MY industry asked me last week if I have a presence on social media/LinkedIn?😐 Um. Well, yeah, ya know. Um. I was struggling. Then I said, "Do you know Jeff Winter or Eddie Saunders Jr?" He said no.😀 Woohoo, I was off the hook! I learned, once they ask who you are, you are already behind. You start questioning your social presence, reach, and influence. Should I post more? Should I post better? Is it even worth it? Being an influencer was never my goal (obviously not), but engagement in MY industry has always been a goal, well before social media even existed. I 😍 meeting people, learning new tricks, breaking old beliefs (usually my own), and exploring uncharted territories. Being active on social media does not make you an influencer, but there is so much to learn, to gain, and to share. People want to engage, not everyone wants to sell you something.😠 So, however you want to measure your presence on social media...your engagement...influences people. #influence #engage #Industrial #LinkedIn

LinkedIn is flooded with influencers, founders and #sales people mostly Rest others are looking for jobs hence spending some time here. Selling #software has become challenging as most buyers are techies who are spending less time on #linkedin LinkedIn strategy alone is not enough unless the target buyer is either a founder or sales head. Tech VPs, veteran CTOs don't see much value for themselves here hence they are rarely active If your #customer is Enterprise and the decision maker is some tech CXO, you may need to rethink how/if you can leverage linkedin. #ceo #founder #leader #business #strategy

Social media job titles: They can impress...until they're attached to an ego inflated by follower counts. Then? Instant unfollow. ✨ A fancy title doesn't excuse treating people poorly. It can vanish faster than a fleeting trend. ✨ Want to really impress? Try humility and kindness. Actually listening to your audience (and team). In a world of self-proclaimed influencers, genuine connection is key. ✨ What impresses you more: a title or a humble social media pro? I'm going with the pro. 😉 Hi, My name is Chaz Taylor, I'm your neighborhood experienced Social Media Strategist with 10 years of experience, who gives his unsolicited social media advice. 🤓 #SocialMedia #career #leadership #socialmediamarketing #DigitalMarketing
