That's possible. I had it done to mine.

Please include iThoughtsX. I've tried many mind mapping apps, and iThoughtsX is the most usable and powerful as far as I'm concerned. Its developer is creative, responsive and constantly introducing great enhancements.

Re: LinkedIn Endorsements: Useful or a Waste of Time?

Matthew Goldsbrough — Wed, 09 Oct 2013 03:27:47 -0000

I agree with Andy, that LinkedIn endorsements aren't terribly useful. As with all the other parts of your LinkedIn profile, they need to be managed. You can choose the skills you list, and which can then be endorsed, so think carefully about what skills will differentiate you from people you're competing with. And you can choose whether or not to display individual skills that people have chosen to endorse in addition to the ones you chose. So if you start to build up endorsements for a skill that doesn't really describe or differentiate you, remove the skill and its endorsements.

Good article, Greg. I found it because I spotted the photograph you've chosen to illustrate the article, and I'm in it. The photo shows a speed networking session at a networking group I sometimes go to. I'm very sceptical about speed networking, but on that occasion I found two very useful contacts. So, to amplify the point of your article, I guess we should not only keep an open mind about who contacts might know, but also an open mind about how people want to interact with us, and how we should spend our time with them.

Jon, if you like Google Reader, try the Feedly add-in for Firefox: it's slicker to use. I just wish it would work on my mobile phone.

As I said this morning, you'll only find out what works for you by experimenting. I look forward to reading your tweets!

If just one person left "inspired and determined", I'm very pleased. Thanks for the feedback.

Interesting post, Ian. As you said, there's nothing revolutionary here, but it's amazing how many salespeople don't use basic principles like these. It's all about seeing the world from someone else's point of view rather than your own, which is something I talk about a lot with my clients when building their marketing strategy. Understanding what's in the buyer's head (motivation, intention, fears, doubts, preferences, ...) is fundamental to crafting a value proposition that they'll respond to favourably.
