LinkedIn Tip - When Sending Invites to Strangers

2011-07-03T15:32:12Z

Wrong action:

When you send a LinkedIn invitation to join someone's network. Never say that you are a friend if you are not. People will only delete your invite because they believe you are a dishonest person trying to get into their network.

Correct action:

Send a message stating that you would like to get to know the person. There are two ways this can be achieved:

1. If the person is in your network circle, ask a friend or other network contact to introduce you.

2. If the person is not in your network, join a group that the person is a member of. This will give you access to send a message.
