Wow, I’m really curious about the reactions to this! “I only connect with people I know personally.”
That’s great, of course. But… how do you meet new people then?
Do you also only talk to people you already know at an event? Of course, you don’t want to mindlessly invite people without any relevance. It has to be interesting and it has to provide something.
But LinkedIn is a networking platform. To find. To connect. And to share knowledge with each other.
The more people you get to know, the more relevant information you gather. And the faster your warm network grows.
Don’t forget: every warm relationship starts somewhere. And it needs to heat up. So: getting to know new people is perfectly possible via LinkedIn.
Time to put the old way of thinking aside. And start networking. Online. Prepared. And via LinkedIn.
✨ Disclaimer: nobody likes spam. And spam doesn’t work on LinkedIn either. I’m talking about personal, authentic, and relevant connections. For example, use Sales Navigator to research your market. And to get to know people who are truly relevant.
