Don’t be that nice guy on socials... Even on LinkedIn. Got a lead from Skool. He said he liked my posts on AI sales systems. Even mentioned the $40k CRM lift I talk about. Cool. I’ve been burned by tire-kickers before, so I decided to qualify first. Asked a few direct questions. Replied late (2-3d later). Vague (not understandable). Clearly AI-generated answers. No signal. No clarity. No ownership. Then out of nowhere: “You know… I can tell your posts are AI-generated. Your services and pitch are all over the place. But let’s see. This is what I need…” Then he pasted my own posts back to me like evidence. Cringe. I replied politely and clarified: I use Claude.ai to format. Stories, insights, experience = mine. Anyone who actually reads can tell. His response? “You disqualified yourself. If you post something, you should know exactly what you offer. Sales 101.” I was done. Not angry. Not defensive. Just clear. “I’m good, brother. I don't know what I post about, what I offer, who I am!” A lesson I learned the hard way: Tire-kickers don’t just waste time. They quietly mess with your confidence. They poke. They project. They test you without ever intending to buy. And if you’re too “nice,” you’ll entertain them longer than you should. This isn’t about starting wars or dunking on people. (Although platforms like X, admire controversies) I keep conversations respectful. But I’m also raw with boundaries now. If someone can’t: – answer clearly – respect your work – engage like an adult They’re not a prospect. They’re noise. The faster you spot them, the more energy you save for people who actually matter. "Being kind doesn’t mean being available to everyone." Share if you've a same sort of story.
