Fastest way to make connections on LinkedIn
If you go to a networking event in person and have a conversation, you start with the basics: “Hey, how are you? I’m Justin. What’s your name? What do you do? Tell me about your family.”
You talk like a real human does. Not, "Here's a bunch of my achievements. Please work with me."
But we forget to do that on linkedin.
That's why a few personal details in your headline are important -- because so few people do it.
And it builds rapport before someone even has met you.
And rapport is how you start more conversations.
