I worked with a new sales person that had no experience with social media, he had social accounts but he never posted. I asked him how are you on LinkedIn? He had no idea, when we found his LinkedIn he had 850 followers from 4 years at a local private college. Plus when you searched for him on Google, he had won all kinds of awards and there were multiple posts from the college and other associations.
