a day agoWhat's your preferred method of business contact? My matrix is: Meeting in Person > Video Call > Phone Call > Email > Text Message > LinkedIn Message* *This is generally speaking...and will change on context You?

2 days ago@tkerbavaz Exactly! It’s even better when it comes from someone you respect.

2 days ago@tkerbavaz 100% Completely understand and share the same challenge.

Alex Fortin @TheAl3xFortin
2 days ago@tkerbavaz Honestly, I could talk to you about this for hours. In my experience, the reason that referrals are so powerful is because the client is pre-vented to be a persona match for your business. In short, you’ve skipped a bunch of biz dev steps to jump right into the final steps.

3 days agoAlso, Multi-camera systems (with intelligence/AI) for conference rooms is a hot topic and appears to be a highly desired tech. The question is which brand will be the 1st to set the market by being the 1st to ship. #EnterpriseConnect #avtweeps

2 days agoHad a conversation with a colleague (and friend) who I greatly admire this morning. I don't have words to fully express how uplifting the conversation was. It's good to know that at least 1 person gets what I'm doing. Thank you! You know who you are. Totally made my week.

5 days agoThere’s two pitfalls that every entrepreneur falls into: 1. The need to have the ‘product be perfect’ and not focusing on sales. 2. Focusing on sales and not on ‘product delivery’ You have to do both at the same time to grow your company without crashing.

5 days agoI’ve had this book in my library for years, but it never made it into rotation till today.
3 chapters in, and have quite a few insights and takeaways.
Great book for anyone who needs improvement being more persuasive (thats everyone).

6 days ago@Vegas_AV_Ace @DanFerrisiEdit @commintegrator Sorry if I offended you. Was not my intention. I was actually implying that your company's skills are better served elsewhere. I've seen the level of excellent custom work on LinkedIn. At the end of the day, it's up to you where you want to put your time and energy.

Alex Fortin @TheAl3xFortin
6 days ago@Vegas_AV_Ace @DanFerrisiEdit @commintegrator Thank god. I can barely do regular science... It comes down to optimization and profitability. If you are an org that is optimized for pulling wire and networking, do it. But as you allude to it's a low-skill competitive market. Instead, I like to go 4 max value for clients.
