21. Optimizing Social Media for Raising Capital with Suman Chakraborty

Following social media rules and regulations will help you start a conversation and build rapport for a possible conversion.

And also, take a look at your LinkedIn profile or any social media platform you're on; they might need updating.

Key Takeaways:

"For the investors and real estate people, I would suggest, give value, and whatever claims you make [on social media], you should be eligible and authorized to do that. And add value to people, that is the most important thing." - Suman Chakraborty

"Don't make claims where you are not authorized; instead, share value of your transformation stories." - Suman Chakraborty

"Engage with the right people. What has worked in my favor is many people who were more advanced than me I was always focused on adding value to them. And that has, in turn, brushed up on my rapport." - Suman Chakraborty

" When I work with people, first is the LinkedIn optimized profile. If you have an optimized profile, it catches the attention; it helps LinkedIn understand who you are as a person, and you go much higher in the algorithm ranking. And you are targeted to the right audience." - Suman Chakraborty
