A Deep Dive Into LinkedIn with David J.P. Fisher, AKA D. Fish
David J.P. Fisher, AKA D. Fish, is a sales and entrepreneurial professional, author, speaker, and coach, and has owned his own consulting firm, Rock Star Consulting, for over 14 years. David got his start by selling Cutco Knives, which helped him pay his way through college, and worked his way up to running the Chicago office and training over 1,500 salespeople.
In our conversation, we focus on LinkedIn as a way to network and how to get the most out of it. Using LinkedIn is an important way to make a positive impression on people in your profession. As David says, even if you don’t like social media, other people do. In our discussion, he shares his tips on how to make an impact, the biggest mistake people make on LinkedIn, and we even talk about our shared love of old school hip hop.
