**What is a Goofball?**

Unscrupulous vultures who will do anything for a sale, including but not limited to the following:

InstaPitch: Seconds after meeting, instantly in SALES MODE

Faking Interest: Pretending to be interested in someone or something to gain access to their network or information. Just waiting for their turn to talk.

Spamming: Sending unsolicited messages or emails to people to connect with them in an attempt to sell products or services.

Hijacking Posts: Stick to the subject of the post, don't make it about you or try to pitch!

Recommendation Begging: requesting recommendations without delivering any value

Don't be that person! Be someone that I can Like, get to Know, and TRUST!

When it comes to networking, the goal is to find and introduce yourself to people that you can build relationships with not pitch the bells and whistles of your product or service.
