Connecting with a professional is an archives tag for lorenweisman.com and the lead off of a brand messaging quotes quote from Loren Weisman.
Connecting with a professional
Those that brag about the number of people they are connected to…
Those that highlight people that are following them…
That spend more time posting about their popularity over sharing content to deliver a sense of authority…
all can be types to watch out for. Just because you connected to someone online, doesn’t mean you know them or they know you. Keep that in mind when some out there try to sell you on their network over the knowledge worth.
Connecting with a professional on a networking site will not always make them a professional connection for you.
Consider practicing some solid vetting and due diligence with those that spend most of their time spotlighting the number of people they are connected to instead of highlighting their authority, authenticity and expertise.
