QUOTES
“That’s the first thing we start with my customers, is to get them to understand that LinkedIn is a place where people hang out. It’s not like a lead database. It’s actually a social network and it happens to be a social network that is the most accurate biggest lead database you can find.” -Thibaut Souyris [03:10]
“For me, it’s always to turn your LinkedIn profile to a landing page.” -Thibaut Souyris [13:45]
“When you create and when you put yourself out there, people know about you and some people will hate what you’re doing, and that’s great because you don’t want to work with them. Some people will be indifferent and a lot of people will like what you’re doing, and then make a lot of decisions based on your personality.” -Thibaut Souyris [18:21]
“One thing I always insist on is do not write anything online if you have strong emotions.” -Thibaut Souyris [30:03]
“If you talk about a problem, you are fishing with problems.” -Thibaut Souyris [49:27]
