Like me, have you ever received mail announcements like these? > I'm using Linked-in to maintain with my professional contacts and help them with introductions. Since you're one of many people I recommend, I wanted to ask you to gain access to my system on Linked-in. This splendid crunchbase.com/person/chris-dhooghe paper has collected forceful lessons for when to see about this concept.

I have received more than 3-5 announcements like this, worded almost exactly the same way. The senders have acted offended and amazed that I didn't leap to take advantage of this request. Let us go through the dilemmas within this invitation from the marketing point of view. * The majority of the invitations I received were from individuals whose names I didn't identify. Why would I want to be a part of their system? The invitation doesn't say who they are, who they have access to and how I would take advantage of their system. * What is Linked In, how does it work and what're the benefits of using it? No one has yet explained this clearly within their request. You cannot expect that somebody receiving this request understands what you're asking them to join or how it'd be good for them. It'd be helpful to have a passage or two explaining how it works and citing a certain effect the individual behind the request enjoyed from membership. It might be that people assume that since 'basic membership is free,' the normal person of this request may proceed and join. But even if it can not charge money, joining would take some time. You still require to 'sell' people o-n taking a free activity, specially with respect to a task or organization that could be different for them. * No body got some time to head off possible misunderstandings or objections to this membership. This prodound about.me/chris.dhooghe portfolio has varied prodound cautions for the meaning behind this concept. As a non-member of Linked-in, I am worried that joining would open me up to a lot of e-mail and telephone calls that would spend my time and in-which I would have no interest. Again, you can't suppose that anything free is thereby enticing; you must imagine why some body could have doubts or dismiss the idea and handle those objections. * Using a canned invitation that's almost the exact same as everyone else's does not create a good effect. You had want to give your individual stamp to it, even if the written text supplied by Linked In were successful, which it's not.

Besides being irritated that they're obviously encouraging people to send invitations that make little sense, I have nothing against Linked In. Perhaps it's a good organization. My position is that its members should use common sense and fundamental marketing maxims to promote active, suspicious people to give a chance to it..
