I swear I cannot make this stuff up!
I received this email:

You know, I find this incredible. Not in a good way.
If you found my email address, you know how to spell my name.
You also claim to be a LinkedIn user. You can find me there too. A lot.
You need to learn to approach people with more positivity to sell, not scare tactics that will bring up their defenses. Who buys in a defensive posture?
And if you look me up on google, even if you misspell either or both of my names, you will find me.
And lots about me.
Mostly thanks to LinkedIn, the first listing on most people’s google search results.
Thanks to lots of other places I appear online.
You have failed to impress that you can help me. You cannot even help yourself, on google or anywhere else, so here’s my question of the week:
Why should I even consider you?
Knowing what you have demonstrated to me, you are now even more freakin’ famous, but not for what you want to be known for!
Why you? Never you!
You do not deserve any consideration, other than what not to do on LinkedIn, or anywhere else online.
