Recommendations

• Leverage the professional nature of LinkedIn• Join groups, ask questions, float ideas, solicit

feedback – and expect fast feedback most of the time

• If you’ve launched a product ask your LinkedIn network for comments

• Engage in discussion. DO NOT launch in with your sales pitch. It’s a sure fire way to lose the connection.
