I know I probably spend too much time ranting about it, but people keep doing it, so I’ll keep ranting….Stop sending these canned invites! You know the ones I’m talking about. The invites that LinkedIn prepopulates the message with. The, “I’d like to add you to my network on LinkedIn message.” Boring. That doesn’t tell me anything about who you are. That doesn’t tell me where I met you. I network with a lot of people online. I’m not going to accept invites from anyone that sends me one. I’m through even sending messages to all of those people. I used to try to invite the people sending me the canned invites to follow me on twitter or facebook, but that NEVER works. So now I just archive the invites. I actually saw another good post about this subject by Liz Lynch, author of Smart Networking: Attract a Following In Person and Online (aff).

If you want more information from Liz about networking, pick up a copy of her book, by clicking on the following image below:
