Here are some recommendations when utilizing LinkedIn (LI) as a social networking site to improve your business connections, sales activity and personal marketing.
1 – Connections – While the goal in terms of connections is to get as many as possible, you also want to ensure that the quality of your connections is just as important. When you send an invitation to connect, ensure that the message you send has a personal touch, other than using the standard default that LI provides. This shows your new connection that you are not just randomly adding people to improve your number of contacts. Also, think of the person you are sending an invitation to. Are there advantages in it for both parties such as making introductions to connections already within your network or theirs, business opportunities for both, keeping them abreast of your personal business activity and more. It is always helpful when asking someone to connect to you to add valuable information in your introduction. This gives you instant creditability and creates a positive impression.
