I joined LinkedIn ~20 years back when it was a professional network - now, it's all about sales and distraction. As stated in my profile summary -> I will *not* network with people i do not know - it's just too much work! If you want to get in touch AND don't just want to sell things to me , kindly find a more creative way to open the conversation than asking for "mutual synergies" when - in reality - you just want to sell your mediocre and/or overpriced service.
