In 2020, I reviewed over 725 LinkedIn profiles for free.
Of those 725 individuals, about 60% said thank you after I sent the profile review to their inbox :)
However, only 4 of those 725 individuals reached back out to me 2-3 months later to share how the profile review benefited them.
I now stay in touch frequently with those 4 individuals because I feel personally invested in their success! 😊
The part 2 of following up is much more difficult, but is guaranteed to set you apart from others, here’s why:
1️⃣ Most people forget. Life moves on and it’s difficult to remember following up on something from 3 months ago. You need to make a conscious effort.
2️⃣ Results take time. A thank you note within 24 hours of a conversation likely won’t cover the impact on your life because it takes time to see results from advice.
3️⃣ It portrays sincere gratitude: The fact that you remember a conversation from 3 months ago shows a deep level of appreciation.
I’d love to hear your thoughts, questions, or other tips below! :)
