Key Takeaways:
- Founders and CEOs should embrace the role of brand ambassadors and leverage their industry knowledge and contacts to open doors and engage with potential customers.
- Building a strong online presence, particularly on LinkedIn, is crucial for establishing credibility and attracting prospects. Consistency and regular posting are key to gaining visibility on the platform.
- It is important for founders to avoid rushing the engagement process and focus on building relationships rather than pushing for immediate sales. Taking the time to research and personalize outreach efforts can yield better results.
- Founders should seek external help, such as content creation and strategy support, to ensure they can maintain a consistent presence and engage effectively with their target audience.
- The LinkedIn algorithm takes time to recognize and reward consistent engagement. It may take three to six months of regular posting and engagement to see significant results.
