COMMENTARY

I have found great success with my new VAR system.

V = View a profile (a lot with autopilot)

A = Accept the invitation (assuming they are a prospect)

R = Reply to their invitation

It certainly works well for me, why not give it a try.

QUESTION (From James from the US)

How does LinkedIn determine someone’s ‘function’ on LinkedIn when there is no field in a profile for this?
