I saw a funny meme the other day. 

 

It was a fake social media post that read; "It's nice outside, I think I'll sit out on the patio" and it showed that 207 mosquitos liked the post! 

 

Ha ha ... 

 

But seriously, here are three common LinkedIn pests that I run into every single day: 

 

1) Those who send copied and pasted direct messages about 2.7 seconds after I accept their connection requests 

 

2) Those who send a bunch of direct messages after I don't respond to their initial message (sometimes for a week, or many weeks)

 

3) Those who add me to their email lists without my permission (WTF?) 

 

If you want to get business from LinkedIn without being an annoying pest like them, check out the training that Ana Melikian is doing this coming Thursday at 3 pm EST. 

 

It's called "Get Clients On LinkedIn: 5-Step Process" and you can grab your seat for it here:
