“I work on internet”, my parents are teachers so there is no way for me to try to explain them the goal of LinkedIn automation for sales prospecting

They just call me LinkedIn guy, though it is a lot more than that! :D

They're convinced I'm just messing around on the computer all day till last year. And don't even get me started on working from home – they think I'm on permanent vacation!  But hey, at least I used to get some quality family time, even if it involves a lot of interrupted "work"! 🤷‍♂️😂
