Whether you network online or offline you need to be polite, courteous and friendly. LinkedIn offers you default messages which are generally short, sharp and unfriendly! Online and offline networking is precisely the same; it’s simply building relationships. By all means use standard messages (with some personal bits added) but don’t use the ones LinkedIn give you!
Good manners, courtesy and respect are the basis of building new and maintaining existing relationships. Act in a similar manner with your LinkedIn connections as you would when working the room at any business event.
I have written a special report on this, including several personalised messages that can be tailored for your LinkedIn business development. Contact me if you would like a copy.
