Quick Hits are 10-minute conversations designed to exercise your brain by letting you listen in on an unscripted conversation to hear other people‘s thoughts on a variety of subjects. In February of 2021 I and the members of my mastermind group thought other people might enjoy listening in on some of the lively conversations we were having. But we realized that no one was going spend 90-minutes listening to us going on about anything and sometimes nothing. Instead, we decided to pick one topic and have a short conversation to share. I took the reigns because facilitating those types of conversations sounded like fun. Over the course of a few months it grew from just members of our mastermind group to four (sometimes three if schedules go sideways) people from various parts of the world and from ”short” to exactly 10-minutes. Thus was born ”Quick Hits” hosted by me, Dr Robyn. I hope to get caught up with posting them here on PodBean at some point. As of this writing, I have over 100 ”episodes.” If you‘d like to see the videos of these conversations, they are available on my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/DrRobynQuickHits If you have a topic you‘d like to hear discussed, I encouraged you to use the contact page of my website: https://drrobynodegaard.com/ to let me know.

If you have built your business on LinkedIn or similar platforms, you have likely received a range of sales pitches.
Some might be the automated response from a total stranger who promises to solve all of your problems, never mind they have no idea what your problems are.
Others might still be presumptuous, but at least reflect some thoughtfulness and research.
How, if at all, should you respond to such requests?
My guests on this edition of Quick Hits have extensive experience working with companies and building their personal brand. They offered insight into how they navigate this particular slice of social media networking.
Mayah’s Legacy CEO, Keji Moses says, “I don’t like the cold calling…it says that the other person is not really interested in me, they’re just interested in selling me a product. I am interested in people who want to find out more about me. Then I’ll give you my business.”
PR specialist Frank Galindo warns that “it’s the responsibility of the person accepting the request” to do their due diligence. “If you can tell right away by the person’s title that they’re probably going to sell you, if you accept them, be prepared for the pitch.”
Consultant Kevin Wash advises, “It’s all about the nature of the approach…If you make an effort and personalize it, then great. We might not do any business, but I’ll definitely respond to you.”
What strategy do you use to deal with the pitches you get on social media?
Connect with the panelist (but maybe not to just pitch them)
