In this controversial episode of the Social Selling Podcast, host Daniel Disney is joined by sales trainer Benjamin Dennehy, known as the "UK's most hated sales trainer," to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of LinkedIn. Despite a history of disagreements, Daniel and Benjamin find common ground on many issues facing the LinkedIn platform and sales professionals today.

Key Discussion Points:

- The importance of prospecting as a foundational sales skill
- Why the goal of getting good at selling is to become an "order taker"
- How LinkedIn has gone from a valuable resource to a "dumping ground for anybody with a thought now"
- The saturation of low-quality sales advice from inexperienced "gurus" on LinkedIn
- Strategies for cutting through the noise, like posting actual cold calls
- The need to consistently provide value and prove your credibility over the long term
