I receive many emails and LinkedIn in-mails—mostly from people who promise me the moon.

They claim to have “cracked the LinkedIn code” and can help me gain lots and lots of new customer relationships in no time.

I just smile wearily at these messages now.
But last week, I finally lost my temper.

One sender was desperate for me to attend his webinar to explain “which strategies and measures have worked best for our 4,000 customers in recent years and months.”

Free of charge, of course. With limited space, of course. And: “Please register immediately!”

The issue?

  • Spelling mistakes in the text.
  • My name was spelled incorrectly.
  • And to top it all off: an invitation in September to a webinar that had already taken place in May.

Classic copy/paste fail.

Honestly:
Can’t you expect at least a minimum of care if you want to attract the attention of others?

Supposedly, everything is AI these days. And yet many people can’t even manage the basics. Spelling, dates, and addressing people properly are essential, aren’t they?

I ask myself:
Am I being too sensitive, or is this simply a sign of a lack of respect and professionalism?
