How Do You Connect With A Potential Client You Don't Know On LinkedIn Without Sleaziness?

It's recommended you only connect on LinkedIn with people you know.

"Yeah right..."

But what about the "connect and pitch" strategy - the ultimate in sleazy approaches - which made us all question accepting inbound requests from strangers?

Thankfully, the weekly connection limit of 100 has dramatically reduced the volume of such unwelcome advances.

To Those In Search Of Clients, LinkedIn Is Like A Child Gazing Through The Window Of A Locked Sweet Shop...

"There they all are.....!"

They are just in reach, but there's an invisible barrier that prevents the polite from making progress.

Yes, create a fantastic profile which draws people in. Post, and get to know people through the comments on your post.

But the newsfeed delivers your posts mainly to first degree connections.

So how do you get more potential clients, who you have already met, as first degree connections?

The answer is as simple as it sounds...

The answer is to meet people before you connect.

Why These Intro Zoom Meetings Are Free...Introducing "Random 11"

Thrice weekly - attend as many as you like - you can meet potential clients during a brief introductory meeting.

While you quickly outline what you do and the types of people you seek, the event host displays your LinkedIn profile, scrolling through and highlighting your best bits.

Then you are given the profiles of all those present on the call so you can connect.

This is for business owners who want to do business with others.

So out of the burning embers of the "connect and pitch" campaigns was born the opposite, rising like a phoenix from the ashes.

A sensible and natural way to connect.

It's now a community of united business owners, who meet often, with new people welcome to join in.

We DO NOT want you to pay to join it without first trying it.

We don't want reluctant community members. Instead we want people who have tried it, like it and WANT to be part of it.

It's gelled together with associated WhatsApp groups where gentle networking can continue - daily conversation topics are dropped into the group for those who want to continue the networking.

No selling is permitted in that group. Except on Fridays - a kind of one day amnesty to protect us from constant pitching, but still give us an opportunity to hear what you have to offer.

The Community Hashtag - LinkedIn Networking Through Posting

Another handy feature is using the community hashtag. Simply add it to your posts. You can then find posts of the other members and get to know them.

Comment on them. Raise your profile so when you meet through our Zooms you are deepening the connection.

And continue it with a little WhatsApp networking too.

This is all about getting to know you - the person behind the logo.

A community where taking part leads to the levels of trust needed for business to happen.

Can you just try it out a little without any commitment?

Yes. As a community, we like a constant flow of new faces. And most of our meetings have one or more people testing it out.

And that's the balance we love - meeting existing community members and developing the bonds which lead to the required levels of trust.

And new people just stopping by to see what it's all about.

Of course those who like and enjoy it very often stay and join in longer term.

You can either:

1. Just attend a single Random 11 event (for free) - we have them on Tuesday at 10AM, Wednesday at 3PM or Thursday at 7PM (all UK times - and people from anywhere in the world are welcome).
2. Or take a full (and free) 30 days so you can attend as many events as you like and take part in the other networking we do if you wish.
3. Or both! Try one event first, then take the 30 day trial.

What happens after the 30 day trial?

If you found it useful, consider joining. Membership is just ￡24 per month and for that you get to:

• Attend any or all of 3 events per week
• Attend The Big Monthly One - this is a bigger monthly Zoom event where all can attend at the same time, except because of the numbers we organise breakout rooms
• Access to our hashtag networking options on LinkedIn
• Attend 1-2-1 meetings - we have a meeting format which allows you select or be selected for a chat over Zoom which prevents you getting the heavy sell
• Be Listed on the associated website so all other members can find and connect with you

Want to try it once or for 30 days?

Either way, register for the 30 day trial - you will be given the options, and at that point if you prefer to attend just one, simply say that.

After your first meeting, you can then ask us to activate the 30 day trial.

There is NO requirement to give credit card details to take the trial.

In fact there's no pressure for a very simple reason - it's all about community. There's no point pressuring people into joining.

Join only if you want to and feel you can be a part of it.
