What Do You Do After You Connect With Someone On LinkedIn? Most People Do NOTHING!

Posted April 21, 2018

Image result for nothing

I’ve been on LinkedIn since 2008, and the sad reality is, pretty much nothing happens after you “connect”.

Most people, won’t even send you a “Thanks for the invite” or “Nice to meet you” email.

Most people won’t send along a helpful resource and for the kicker;

Many are absolutely awful at responding.

Am I saying this because I want to hate on LinkedIn?

Perhaps I’m bitter?

Hell no!

I’m saying it because it’s YOUR wake up call to take the lead!

It means that YOU will stand out, if you’re willing to do the exact OPPOSITE, of what the mass majority does;

Send/accept an invite and then do a whole lotta NOTHING!

Do you leverage your social network?

Do you have a communication plan in place, once you connect?

Are you good at keeping in touch with your network? (and not just to try and sell them stuff)

How about taking the relationship off of your computer screen and into an ancient ritual referred to as “talking on the phone”?

I say all this as a simple reminder to you to;

Have a plan in place to communicate with your network regularly
