ORGANIZE PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIPS
LinkedIn provides a way to connect with professionals, friends, and co-workers. You can easily invite someone to connect and ask a connection for an invitation to connect to one of their contacts. There is a debate whether to limit your connections to high quality connections or connect to all willing to connect. Since your connections can be put into multiple categories for ease of access, I tend to connect with many professionals.
I have over 1,110 connections and each contact is “tagged” into over 20 different categories. Once you connect, you have the opportunity to initiate networking opportunities. Do not forget your connections and periodically contact your “primary” contacts.
Action: This week, build-up your connections by sending 5 professionals invitations to connect. Also, identify 2 current professional contacts and search their contact list. Ask your contact to invite their contact to connect with you – an “invitation to connect”.
