COMMENTARY
I have found great success with my new VAR system.
V = View a profile (a lot with autopilot)
A = Accept the invitation (assuming they are a prospect)
R = Reply to their invitation
It certainly works well for me, why not give it a try.
QUESTION (From James from the US)
- How does LinkedIn determine someone’s ‘function’ on LinkedIn when there is no field in a profile for this?
