What’s the Best Way to Connect with New People on LinkedIn?

What’s the best way to send a LinkedIn invite to somebody you don’t know?

If you are in sales, marketing, recruitment or looking for a job you’ll know that to generate leads you sometimes have to connect with new people to create opportunities; the question is really how do you go about this in the best way.

I decided to ask Aimee Bateman who is a featured writer for The Undercover Recruiter what she thinks. In this video we talk about:

• The best ways of connecting with prospects on LinkedIn
• Why personalising a message is so important
• What option to pick (friend, colleague, classmate, done business with etc)
• What invites Aimee herself would accept/reject
• Aimee’s words of wisdom regarding LinkedIn invites
