I was at an event the other day when I met a very smart, respected, and likeable business owner, named Ron.
We got to discussing LinkedIn, and I asked him how many connections he had. He mentioned he had around 300, and then went on to proudly proclaim that he knew “all of them personally, save three or four”.
When I asked him whether he had considered inviting people to join his network whom he did not know personally, he said he did not feel comfortable connecting in this manner. He had formed such a strong policy against this, that he felt compelled to physically meet people for a coffee prior to accepting their invitation request.
