Amazon's New Bestseller: "How to Count Badge Swipes & Stir the Slack Pot – Office Drama 101!"

Amazon's Office Drama: Swipes, Slacks, and Petitions!

HEY YOU!
Guess what?

The BIGGEST company drama ISN'T at the water cooler.
It's at the badge scanner.

Amazon.
The behemoth. The giant.
Checking if employees are really showing up.
Three days a week?
That’s the rule.

Badge swipes?
PROOF!
Or...maybe not.

Slack's lit up.
Like a disco on New Year's Eve.
Flawed system? Oops.

REMEMBER FEBRUARY?
Yeah, that return-to-office policy.
Outrage. Protests. Petitions.

SO HERE'S THE DEAL.
We're diving DEEP.
Unpacking this Amazonian saga.

Get READY.
This is gonna be JUICY.
DON'T MISS IT.

☠️ ANDY’S DEADLY DOODLES

THE LINKEDIN INBOX PROBLEMA

I cannot be the only one that in just 4 days gets:

• 23 InMails (aka Sales Pitches)

• 13 Messages from actual connections that I wish I could reply to

• 17 Connection requests

• 24 Comments that I should reply to...

and somehow through ALL of that I need to:

• Send 33 InMails to prospects

• Reply to 5 important conversations

• Nicely decline sales pitches (because I don't like to ghost)

• Get to Inbox Zero for my OCD's sake...

Someone needs to build something to fix this LinkedIn inbox.

Any ideas?

The closest thing I've come across is Dabble: https://www.getdabble.io/

Kudos to whoever is building this.

💀 Issue #100-and-something 💀

Here's my secret weapon for generating more leads.

I've done this to generate over 10,000 emails for my newsletter.

You could do this in less than 24 hours.

Step 1: Create a lead magnet

• An ultimate guide

• A cheat sheet

• An video series

Step 2: Distribute that guide on social

• LinkedIn

• Twitter

• etc.

Step 3: Nurture them

• You've generated emails

• Now nurture people via email

• You are top-of-mind for X problem when it comes up

The secret sauce of sales is in the nurturing y'all.

Agree?
