Deja vu all over again
My son-in-law Chris is a superhero superfan.
When Spider-Man: No Way Home was released a few weeks ago he was at the first showing.
He hates social media spoilers, so he often hits the midnight showing on release day.
Chris LOVED the movie.
If I called him right now, he would drop everything to go again.
And again.
And again.
My wife Ellen is not a fan of superhero movies.
She MAY go with me once to see the movie, but she has a rule that seeing a movie once is enough.
It would do no good to invite Ellen to see ANY movie more than once.
Every day I receive a slew of invitations and messages on LinkedIn.
Most of the messages are templated sales pitches.
They’re not talking to me personally.
They’re sending a generic message that means nothing to me.
It seems like most LinkedIn messages are inviting me to a webinar or a discovery call to get to know each other.
I receive similar emails every day.
BLAH BLAH BLAH come to my webinar or watch this video.
