Danger! Danger! You may know more about who is your ideal customer than the tech source you outsource to.
The irony that the email below is about a “Know Your Customer” tool truly makes this a deliciously hideous networking mistake, and gives assurance to those of us who stress the importance of making a human connection, of the need for human insights, of using those “soft” human skills (like critical thinking, empathy, etc.) that we won’t be made redundant by tech or AI in the very near future.
Can you spot the errors?

*Yes, I was an adjunct professor….guiding 1 class for 1 semester at LIM College. While I enjoyed the diversion, the experience is not one I’ve highlighted under “experience” on Linkedin.
**Yes, I was the co-founder of a start-up accelerator, called Women Innovate Mobile (WIM). It was a crazy whim. I co-founded it and killed it. WIM ceased operations in 2014…by my math, that’s 10 years ago.
***Ha Ha! Creating a false sense of urgency by asking me to commit by January 19th! The only reason I read down to that part of the damn email was knowing from the salutation that it would make a PERFECT networking pro-tip. Apologizes to those who may have wanted to act on this great deal, for posting this pro-tip in February.
****The reason I don’t feel like an asshat for sharing the email, in full, names of the transgressing parties included, is this line. Don’t imagine “Nina” had this sort of share in mind.
