There’s no right answer to the question of “Do I need to be on Threads?” in our opinion, but there is some important information to consider when making that decision, whether personally or for your company. …

When you read “thought leadership” content on LinkedIn, does it often fall short? Does it make you want to roll your eyes? I get that. In fact, a recent study with LinkedIn and Edelman found that 71% of respondents said that “less than half of the thought leadership they consume gives them valuable insights.” …
As president of The Wilbert Group, a huge part of my job is selling. Rationally, I know this, but I don’t ever feel like a salesperson. First of all, I don't do any cold-calling.
