Use social etiquette to really make your LinkedIn connections valuable and stand out from the crowd at the same time.
1: Send Personalized Connection RequestsWhen you send an invitation to connect, do it from the person's profile page by clicking the Add to Your Network link. This way you can add a personal message.
2: Reply to all New Connections
Start the conversation. Send a short message saying “Thank you for accepting my invitation." or
"Thanks for asking me to connect."
Include something extra to the message. Do you have anything in common?
3: Compose a Group Email
It's a great way to send targeted messages to different groups of contacts you've tagged.
FYI: You can only send a message to 50 people at any one time. I'm sure we would see lots of spam otherwise. TIP: Hide Others’ Email Addresses: ALWAYS uncheck the box that says, “Allow recipients to see each others' email address.” This makes the email a BCC. Value other people’s privacy by not sharing their email addresses with everyone else.
