Try This Networking Hack On LinkedIn [Video]

𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 ‘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀’ 𝗼𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀.

It’s a missed opportunity and it’s too generic.

Plus, it adds nothing memorable to the conversation.

Think about it:

→ It doesn’t spark engagement.

→ It’s instantly forgettable.

→ It makes you blend in with hundreds of other comments and messages.

Instead, ask a question that opens the door to real dialogue.

Here’s how to do it effectively:

𝟏. Drop it in the comments. 𝟐. Then send a personal message if you’re already connected. 𝟑. Use a connection request if you’re not yet connected.

The goal? Make your interaction meaningful and memorable.

Here’s an example of what you can say to a first-degree connection:
