Three Little Words
“Looks like we finally get to work together . . . ! Staying in touch pays off! I recommended you and it looks like they have chosen you.”
How many times have you been asked, “have you gotten any work through LinkedIn?” I ask myself that question, and, in searching my memory I find that in the four or so years I’ve connected with people on LinkedIn, I can count the jobs obtained through my connections on one hand. But then a message comes through my message board like the one above, and it restores my faith in the L/I system. And as much faith as I have in my expertise as a professional food photographer, booking this shoot may never have happened if it wasn’t for one thing. “Staying in touch pays off.” Truer words were never written.
This notification of my getting the shoot was followed by a phone call from the new client saying “welcome aboard!” And this new client’s welcome was even stronger because they had been told by the connection who recommended me that choosing my company to shoot their food would be the best choice over the other contenders for this job.
What made this shoot even better was the connection who recommended me flew across country for this shoot to oversee the shooting of their client’s – my new client’s – food product. And an even stronger connection was made.
This is just one example of the LinkedIn connections I have made, and there’s many more like them who will bring work your way. “How is it done again,” you say? Three little words. “Staying in touch.”
