Connecting with other professionals is an important part of building up your leverage and influence within LinkedIn. Good communication on LinkedIn is about etiquette and respecting those you connect with.
TYPES OF CONTACTS
There are 3 types of contacts, 1st degree, 2nd degree & 3rd degree that you can contact within LinkedIn. 1st degree contacts are those that have agreed to connect with you ,a 2nd degree contact is someone you are connected to through a 1st degree contact and a 3rd degree contact is a 2nd degree contact of your 1st degree contacts.
WHY GET IN TOUCH?
Getting in touch with contacts is important when looking for a job, getting professional advice, promoting yourself/company etc. In particular when looking for a job, a good approach is to identify qualified employers that might be a good match and then contact decision makers within those companies. The more contacts you have the more chance you have of contacting these decision makers. LinkedIn gives you the opportunity to contact 1st, 2nd & 3rd degree contacts.
So what are you waiting for, start connecting today!!
