Today’s episode is super special! This is our 100th episode and it feels like I've been doing this podcast for years at this point.

Ruggles who was the very first podcast guest back on episode seven? Annie P. Ruggles is the Founder of The Non-Sleazy Sales Academy, she's guided hundreds of people toward making deeper connections, lasting impressions, and friendlier, more lucrative transactions and conversations.

LinkedIn is a curated content engine plus social networking site, where you can highlight your background by optimizing your profile, grow and leverage your network by connecting to people, and engage with the gifts of content that you're being offered. It enables you to network with people and professional organizations in your industry which is a great way to stay up to date with the latest developments and to share information and ideas with others in your field. We have to take into account, that the larger our network is, the more business opportunities will come our way, meaning the more potential leads and sales.   If you are using LinkedIn and you want to leverage this platform, tap into this episode!   Show topics include: (02:25) About Annie P.
