The assumption is that you do NOT have the person's e-mail address. (If you had it, you would simply Invite him/her using the "Add Connections" button as one way.) You need to initiate a LinkedIn Introduction from inside a profile (upper right) and choose the connector. Write a compelling message, explaining who you are and what you want from him/her (value proposition - but brief). After he/she accepts your Introduction, you will get his/her e-mail address and then you will need to Invite him/her to join your LinkedIn network. LinkedIn makes Introductions a two-step process. Better yet, if you have some commonality with him/her (same LinkedIn group, college, workplace, did business together, friend, etc.), choose "Add Pat to my network" inside his/her profile also at the upper right, choose the type of commonality on the drop-down screen, and write the same type of compelling message to him/her. The net result is that you were able to Invite him/her to join your LinkedIn network without having his/her e-mail address (one-step process instead of 2). I hope that you're in my LinkedIn network. If not, Invite me. Ann Bergquist annber@hotmail. |
