Do Not Use LinkedIn as a Sales Lead
Thursday, May 8, 2008

I received an unsolicited sales telephone call and a follow-up email from a guy who found me on LinkedIn:

Thank you for taking the time to review this information. I have written a brief overview of the reason for my call. Feel free to forward this information on to anyone who may be interested in learning more about CIGNEX. For more information, you can visit our website at www.cignex.com .

Cignex is an open source consulting firm and system integrator. We build custom applications with Java and Python, and we are the leading global systems integrator for Alfresco, Liferay, and Plone. We are actively looking for strategic partnerships, and I was looking to speak with whoever is in charge of application development in order to set up some time with them to discuss CIGNEX and open source.

Feel free to get in touch with me by phone or email with any questions or to set up a time. Thank you again for your time today, and I look forward to hearing back from someone soon!

Best Regards,

My only though was “Wow, how about that. Solicitation for a sale via professional social netwoek sites – it was only a matter of time...” :)
