7. Clear invitation requests
8. Grow your network, constantly
9. Virtual reality = Reality reality
10. Groups & Answers!
11. Keep in touch!!

DON’T DO THIS!!!
1. People you already know well. 2. People worked with in the past. 3. People you know professionally. 4. Sector leaders, professional heroes or teachers.
Follow your gut: Stranger danger!
• Employees• Volunteers• Board members• Fans!• OWN your sector
Leave the job information for resume
• 3 to 5 recommendations minimum• Best way to get is to give them!• Be authentic, focus on value• Recommend person not company
Close the deal
Paperwork made easy!
Testimonial /evidence

Education:Purchase options
Establish : credibility/connection
• This is not Facebook• Limit your time on LI• Have a timer! • Start with 10 mins a week• Grow your network organically
Don’t forget!
