I previously wrote a blog titled “How To Invite Someone To Connect Online“. If you click on the link to read it and then come back to this post, this post will make more sense.
I just had to share this invite that I received through LinkedIn:
Hi Kimberly,
I’ve been reading some of your [blog] posts on Biznik and I want to thank you for all of the great information. Social networking is new to us at ImageWear Solutions and your advice and knowledge have proved to be extremely helpful. I’d like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn.
Gary
The person that sent this LinkedIn invite to me is located in another state…I’ve never heard of him. But you can bet I will accept his invitation! The main reason is because he told me how he found out about me and then he indirectly told me why he wants to connect. That is the type of information I like to have when someone I don’t know wants to connect online. Isn’t that the type of information you would like too? Is that the type of info you provide in invites that you send?
The bottom line is that Gary’s invite is the best I’ve ever seen and I wanted to share it with you as an example of what to do.
Great invitations may very well lead to great connections!
