Verdict
The mantra 'people connect with people' is a marvel of meaningless profundity, rivaling the depths of a motivational poster. Despite advising against treating LinkedIn like a notice board, the post itself reads like a personal brand ad crammed with clichés such as 'build a presence' and 'closes deals.' It's hard to miss the irony in imploring founders to focus on their visibility — all while slipping in the humble request for DMs that scream self-promotion louder than any company logo ever could. Finally, it doesn't escape notice that this wisdom is dispensed without much but borrowed authority, as if working 'behind the scenes' automatically grants one an MBA in Brandology.
The post repeatedly emphasizes personal brand importance while framing it as advice for others.
The author references their experience without diving deeply into specifics or credentials.
'People connect with people' is a nice sentiment but lacks actionable depth.
The message encourages personal branding while also promoting the author's services.
The call to 'DM me' for insights feels more like a pitch than genuine advice.
'Build a presence' and 'closes deals' are common phrases lacking originality.
