Wow... when I first saw Sam.ai, I was a bit puzzled as to what it does exactly. It looked interesting (anything with AI generally is!), but what really drew me was the concept of creating my own personal connected network! It definitely feels more private and close-knit that the general LinkedIn platform.

Truth is, if you build it right, you could have your very own network that can enrich whatever endeavor you can imagine.

I know there's some concern as to whether or not anyone would join 'yet another platform', but honestly, i really think it depends on how you position it! If you tell someone "Hey! Would you like to be a part of my Sam community?", I think most people will be curious and wonder what is this Sam thing that they haven't heard of yet? FOMO can make them sign up readily because let's face it, so many things are being launched in today's day and age that it's not surprising that there's something out there that they haven't heard of.

They'll probably ask "What's Sam?", and you can confidently say "Think of it as a private LinkedIn for your professional life" (or however else you want to phrase it. How it is received will depend greatly on how you communicate the value. So, in a nutshell, I don't really see the issue of asking my selected group of people to join as a problem!

I love what Sam can do, although I am still learning ALL it can do! To bride the gap, good tutorials and general knowledge of how best to use the platform are needed. So far, it seems Sam.ai is up to the challenge of educating us based on their very active weekly webinars (held several times a week in fact!)

I look forward to learning more but so far, I am EXCITED about this platform and it's potential to massively impact my professional relationships!
