Chapters

When you have a first connection, you can actually send them a voice message. It's unbelievable. It's a feature that's been out for over two years, yet few people know it's there. When people accept my connection, the first thing I do is I go and I send them a voice message that sounds like this. Hey, Greg, it's Andy. Just wanted to thank you for the LinkedIn connection. If you need anything from me, feel free to reach out. Just wanted to say thank you. Hope you enjoy the content I'm putting out here on a daily basis. Have a great day. That's it. I'm not asking for anything. I'm not trying to drive them to a meeting right away. I'm just thanking them for a connection. But the voice message feature is a pattern disrupt. They're not used to getting it. They're like, wow.
