Tweetable Quotes

“Most people do not follow company pages. The natural action is to connect as individuals.” - Daniel Alfon

“The metrics they need to focus on are not LinkedIn metrics. Not the number of connections nor the number of views, or discussions or endorsements, or any LinkedIn metrics. What they need to think about and focus on are revenues, profits, new clients, and the real-life metrics.” - Daniel Alfon

“What we could do is speak with that person outside of LinkedIn. The secret no one will tell you is that you need to leave LinkedIn at one point.” - Daniel Alfon
