Season 1 Episode 19. Effective LinkedIn Invitiations

Hi everyone, following on from episode 16 where I discuss who you may wish to connect with I am now concentrating on how you go about doing it.

In theory this should be really simple, in practice LinkedIn have made it rather complex…..good old LinkedIn!

• Accepting LinkedIn invitations using desktops, mobile phones, tablets/iPads or through email.
• Sending invitations the right way
• Customizing an invite
• Q&A – How to disable/close a second LinkedIn account.

Here is a screenshot of the reply that I send to the vast majority of invitations that I accept;

This can be quickly achieved by using external software such as TextExpander or PhraseExpress (see links below)

Question from Sian Merrick “How do I close a secondary LinkedIn account that I do not use?”

It can be difficult to get noticed in iTunes and one thing that can really make a difference is reviews. If you enjoy the show please take a minute to write an honest review in iTunes, it would be most appreciated.

If you are not sure how to write an iTunes review I have made a short video demonstrating how this is done.
