Why you have to be careful when checking out #free materials on the web, e.g. how to connect on Linkedin
#email #DirectMail #communicaton #LinkedIn
This screen print comes from an expert's #free educational materials. It is supposed to teach how to use Linkedin best. Unfortunately, it is riddled with mistakes.
1. “I…I…” => This email is all about the sender and not about the recipient. This mail has only three sentences. Two of them begin with the word “I”. The word “your” comes up only once and is used incorrectly.
2. This short e-mail contains two grammatical errors. “Your” is used incorrectly, it should be “you are interest-ED.” The sentence is also missing a comma.
3. Never suggest things like “otherwise please ignore” because a) the recipient knows that anyway and b) by mentioning it the sender is in fact reminding the recipient that he should ignore this note.
4. Never write “thanks” but “Thank-you”, "Thanks" is too informal at this stage; obviously the sender does not know the recipient.
In short: This "expert" does not know how to properly connect on Linkedin. This mini-lesson does not teach anything, with the exception of how-not-to do it.
You get what you pay for and this free ‘lesson” is simply not good.
