I was the 74,899th person to join the LinkedIn platform. Considering that it now has more than 760 million users worldwide, I've been there since the beginning.

In 2003, I had left journalism and was just starting in business. I joined LinkedIn, not quite knowing what to think. It intrigued me, as I had just come from covering companies like AOL, CompuServe, Prodigy, and countless other social platforms. LinkedIn was more than a bit underwhelming way back then. I liken it to "baseball-card collecting," when people connected just because they knew each other (or more than likely, they didn't). It did let me keep up with my business contacts, though.

Flash forward to 2007, when I worked at a tech start-up developing a social and work platform for the commercial real estate industry. Way back then, I taught CRE pros how to use platforms like LinkedIn to network and start business conversations. Little did I know back then that I'd be doing the same thing today!

A few years ago, in a book I co-wrote on LinkedIn and social selling, I predicted that LinkedIn would become the prime tool in a salesperson's "utility belt" (to borrow from Batman). Today, it is indeed.

No better, more effective tool for your sales efforts exists than Linkedin, especially in today's remote working environment. I'm excited to continue the work I started back in 2007 on the platform that I was one of the first to use in 2003.
