Should You Accept All Friend Requests on LinkedIn?

2 mins 20 secs

Who should I connect with on LinkedIn? Do you ask yourself this question? Many people ask me this when seeking LinkedIn advice!

  • Should I connect with everyone who asks?
  • Should I only connect with people I have met in person?
  • Should I connect with my work colleagues?
  • Should I connect with my competition?
…the list goes on…

I was asked this question again recently, so here is my take on what makes a good LinkedIn ‘Connection Strategy’.

To find out more about why you should vet all your LinkedIn Connection requests head over to my blog post.

Alternatively, to discover why personalising Connection requests YOU send out is vital, click here.
