WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE

Brought to you by:HIT Virtual

HOW TO CONNECT WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE

• Treat your network connections as treasure

• Do not add connections that bear no relevance to your main goal

• Be ruthless when deciding whether to add people to your network

Start with ‘People You May Know’

Click on ‘See More’

This displays many ways to connect with people

Decide who you want to connect with before you search

Adding peers in related professions or experts / role models will help you meet prospective clients

Do NOT hit the ‘Connect’ button!!

Hitting that link will send an impersonal invitation to connect

Instead, click on the person’s name

This opens up their profile for further reading

Allows you to personalize a form letter for a more professional introduction

OTHER WAYS TO SEARCH FOR PEOPLE

• Alumni from your university

• Different category listings

– Search company names & look for their top executives’ profiles

– Find current employees & past employees

Search particular groups, to join but also for potential clients

Study experts & top executives profiles & actions on LinkedIn®

• What bores you? What makes you want to click through & read more?
