Like me, have you ever received mail invitations like these? > I'm using LinkedIn to maintain with my professional connections and support them with introductions.

This cogent Hartman Journal CaringBridge web page has some powerful lessons for the inner workings of it. I've received above 3-5 announcements like this, phrased almost precisely the same way. To compare more, please consider looking at Angel Investors Definition. The senders have acted offended and amazed that I did not leap to reap the benefits of this request. Let us go through the problems in this request from the marketing standpoint. * The vast majority of the invitations I received were from individuals whose names I did not understand. Why would I want to be a part of their network? The invitation doesn't say how I'd take advantage of their network and who they're, who they have access to. * What's Linked-in, so how exactly does it work and what are the benefits of using it? No body has yet explained this clearly within their invitation. You can not expect that some body receiving this request understands what you are asking them to participate or how it would be good for them. Visiting rayhammer5's Profile Armor Games seemingly provides warnings you might give to your dad. It would be useful to have a passage or two explaining how it works and mentioning a particular effect the person behind the invitation enjoyed from membership. It might be that people assume that since 'basic membership is free,' the typical individual with this invitation will go-ahead and join. But even if it can not charge money, time would be taken by joining. You still require to 'sell' people on going for a free action, particularly with respect to an activity or organization which may be unfamiliar for them. * No one got the time to head off possible misunderstandings or objections to the account. As I'm concerned that joining would open me up to a lot of mail and calls that would waste my time and by which I would have no interest, a non-member of Linked In. Again, you can't believe that anything free is thus enticing; you must imagine why someone may have doubts or dismiss the idea and address these arguments.

You had want to give it your own personal stamp, even when the writing given by Linked-in were powerful, which it's not. Apart from being irritated that they're obviously encouraging people to send invitations that make little sense, I've nothing against Linked In. Perhaps it is an useful organization. My position is that its members have to use good sense and fundamental marketing axioms to encourage busy, skeptical individuals to give it an opportunity..
