Your LinkedIn Sales Pitch Makes Me Angry. In this interview, startup agency founder Loretta Markevics gives her unfiltered opinion on the thousands of automated, "cutesy" sales messages flooding executive inboxes. She explains why deceptive lead generation tactics make her "angry," why she's "very, very pro directness," and why your cold outreach is probably a waste of her time. Loretta also shares the raw story of leaving her C-suite job, crying nonstop, and facing the intense fear of financial insecurity. She reveals the moment her executive assistant "fired her" for being a bad boss , and why she turned down an acquisition offer for her fast-growing agency, believing "this cake is not baked" yet.
