Is anyone else disappointed by the sheer volume of job, article, self-promotional and even spam postings in the LinkedIn groups that they join?
Well, after all my travels on LinkedIn, I finally discovered a genuine discussion group: Sales Best Practices, run by Laurent J.V. Dubois.
It's not effective because it's being actively promoted or because it uses heavy hitters as group mascots.
It's effective because Laurent had the foresight to develop group rules that encourage members to be on their best behavior and that make it clear what type of participation would be considered unacceptable. One more thing though, this group leader actually follows through on his rules. Members that break the rules are actually banned and explanations are offered to the group, both for their own understanding and the ongoing management of expectations.
