Vent: Everyone says you need a LinkedIn Premium to network here, but I found a huge flaw

I tried to connect with a local marketing director for three weeks using InMail, but the message just sat unread. I finally just went to a Chamber coffee in Buckhead and met them in person in five minutes. Has anyone else found the paid online tools here just don't work as well as showing up?

Showed up in person in five minutes" is the part that got me. I spent six months trying to get a meeting with a client over email, then ran into them at the hardware store. We had a deal before I even found the mulch aisle. Sometimes the internet just makes the simple stuff way too hard.

Honestly, I was all about email until that happened to me too.

Oh man, that's so true! I once spent weeks emailing back and forth with a supplier about a tiny problem. We finally set up a video call to fix it, and my cat walked on the keyboard and hung up. Called their office landline on a whim, got a real person, and it was sorted in two minutes. Felt like the biggest goof for not just picking up the phone way sooner.
