I do not respond to any unsolicited sales pitches through LinkedIn, and my preference would be to not receive them please as this account is not associated with my employer. Whilst I occasionally choose to use LinkedIn to promote my place of work or roles I am recruiting, my account is personal, I generally interact with it outside of work hours and it is not an extension of my workplace or my working day. Thanks for your understanding.
