Linkedin Messages

So what happen suddenly is that I start receiving Linkedin messages from different IT Training companies asking if I'm interested in taking any training so they can sell me their products.

I don't know if that happens to you in the forum...but is very weird.

Typical spam. Move on. If you like you may also report them for unsolicited PMs.

"Oh come on, you won't know if you don't want it unless you talk to one of our sales people for a live demo of the training! It's only taking an hour or two out of your day. No? Ok, I'll check back in a couple weeks! "

Between LinkedIn, email, phone calls, etc., training people and sales people are the absolute worst. I don't do cold calls. I put them on my internal "**** list". I will try not to do business with them if at all possible. If I want training, I'll seek you out. It can get expensive. I don't want to pay that much to cover sales calls. And, I don't want an hour or two sales presentation to show me how wonderful the product is. I'm asking others and getting real reviews from people that have used it.

I report it as spam and move on.

I got a few of them as well, but chose to ignore them and pretend I didn't receive it.
