QUOTES FROM SABITA

• “A big part of the differentiator of my business, maybe compared to other LinkedIn experts and coaches is around showing my clients how to build their presence as an expert or a thought leader, so they can attract new business from your, your opportunities.”
• “It really is a long lead space, like whether it's for, if it's a role that you're not maybe suited for right now, adding the recruiters to your network, adding anyone who's interviewed you to your network is good. And if you are more visible and active on the platform, maybe the job's not right for you right now, but they might come back to you later, especially if you're sharing good content as an expert in your space.”
• “Make sure you're building out a very thoughtful, customized invitation to connect.”
