Why I hate the words "Let's Connect!"

How many posts a day do you see on BP, FB, Insta, or any of the other social media platforms that end with "LETS CONNECT!"

TOO MANY. And many go unread, ignored by many, because they really offered nothing in the post.

So many new investors, agents etc, type a very small paragraph offering no value, and ending it with LETS CONNECT, thinking magically people will just reach out to them.

Instead, try this. Write a paragraph that brings others VALUE. "Lets Connect" tells me nothing about you, your goals, or your business. Spend the post letting others see in detail about what you bring to the table for a potential connection, and what you are hoping to build. Give others a reason to click and respond on the post. Go that extra distance, 60 more seconds of typing, and generate better responses that will help you build relationships with others on the platforms. No need to end the post with "Let's Connect" - because the value that you brought in the post is going to make them want to connect anyway.

Hope this helps someone! It is Monday - Kill the week!
