Please don’t cause embarrassment through LinkedIn relationships!

Networking, whether it’s face-to-face or online, requires patience and suitable timings. It takes time to build relationships. Get to know someone, start to build rapport, find common ground and see what you can offer or give someone early on. Create trust by becoming reliable and then watch the relationship start to blossom. I do find sometimes people are too quick to;

  • Want to link in even though you’ve never met
  • Request recommendations from you
  • Ask for introductions to others

Dont forget...

Building relationships can be a sensitive and vulnerable time in our lives. Getting it right produces mutual benefits and comforting long term associations. Getting it wrong can sometimes cause upset, embarrassment and disappointment. It’s simple really; try to give something first and get your timings right!
