(What most people don’t know about networking)
LinkedIn is the biggest opportunity for professional networking. Whether you are in B2B sales, or looking to connect with like-minded professionals, LinkedIn is the place to be.
Yet, many people forget that networking on LinkedIn isn’t any different from networking in real life. The same rules apply.
Let's see how common LinkedIn mistakes would play out at a party:
1️⃣ The cold sales pitch
↳ Would you hand your sales catalog to someone at a party without even starting a conversation? Probably not. So why do it here?
2️⃣ Overtagging
↳ Tagging 20 people in your post just to grab attention is like shouting across the room for no reason. It’s awkward and unnecessary.
3️⃣ Ghosting connections
↳ When you exchange business cards at an event, you don’t toss them in the trash. The same applies online—follow up, engage, and nurture those connections.
Networking on LinkedIn is no different from real life. Be smart about it, and your connections will flourish. 💜
