Why send someone a connection request?

  • Looking for info / guidance
  • Expand network
  • Met someone IRL
  • Why not to:

    • Just because
    • They're  cute
    • Connection request or invite vs inmail or message for basic free accounts:

      • Inmail - paid or free to 1st degree connections

        • Know your reason
        • Find common ground
        • Send outreach
        • Keep it short and sweet
