What Happens After You Connect On A Social Network? Usually Nothing!

Posted July 5, 2016

set it and forget it

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!

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!

Oh, and then they’ll probably piss and moan about how much LinkedIn sucks.

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 sh*t)
