I used to get a lot of “requests” from people I know to connect with them on this website.
I figured “Eh . . . I don’t think so.”
Last Thursday, pursuant to much cajoling, I went to this networking gathering and a lot of people that I have a lot of respect for were telling me what a great networking tool it is. There was even a short presentation on its many benefits.
Now the people at this networking function were movers and shakers, people you actually would want to know - and acknowledge knowing. So, I thought to myself: “Hmmm. Who knows more people than I?”, a rhetorical question that answers itself.
And so I signed up. You should, too.
Now, if only Dale Duffy would hook up with me. Or Chris Duphily. Or Mark Timpani.
Not quite fifteen months later, I have 920 connections, over 700 of whom are HIs - including - I might add - Dale Duffy, Chris Duphily AND Mark Timpani.
