Why You Should Be Selective About Who You Link To


LinkedIn is not a place where the more connections, the better–despite what some people may want you to think.

Tim Tyrell-Smith of Tim’s Strategy explains it in a way that makes sense.

Imagine a huge apple orchard full of fresh blossoms, lots of bees. This time the bees land and leave without doing their business. The result? No apples.
My advice? Do your business. Start pollinating.
If you don’t start a connection with (at minimum) a personal introduction on LinkedIn, you will kick-off each connection (relationship) with such a small amount of commitment that you might as well avoid connecting altogether.
