Why LinkedIn Puts You in Jail? What are the best ways to outreach safely without going into LinkedIn Jail?

1. don't assume everyone loves cold contacts

2. customize the message. before I deleted my linkedin, I always click "I don't know this person" if it was automated

3. less is more, better to do 10 targeted messages a week that you can follow up on than 100 automated

4. if someone's phone/email is on their profile and it's public, try that way first and then maybe send a linkedin message "hey I tried calling you at XXX-1234 but wasn't able to get through..."

5. stop relying on social media for business development
