How Good Manners on LinkedIn Build Trust
Thought you might be interested in the article How Good Manners on LinkedIn Build Trust and thought I’d share a few points with you here. I’ve found some relevant information here so if I find more, I’ll be sure to pass it on.
The impact of professional manners will deliver above and beyond. Who should be a recipient of yours? Everyone or just those who you deem are important? It should be everyone!
Manners stems from a “mindset of care and respect” vs “narcissistic gain”. The world flicks around and today’s sellers and candidates can be tomorrows clients and staff. And referral opportunities are vast with manners polishing each window of opportunity.
Here are some tips for building trust on LinkedIn.
- Sending invitations
Try to always send a request with a personal note. Be personal and not tick and flick. Read their profile and have full profile visibility turned on.
- Accepting invitations
If you accept a personalised invitation and note – respond with at least a thank you. This is the start of an online/offline relationship. Be gracious.
- Engagement responses
Content is the jewel in the crown for building your expert authority on the platform. If someone has taken the time to engage on your content always respond. And not just tick a Like. Unless a comment is rude or weird it’s a must do. Not only good manners but feeds the algorithm for greater content reach.
- Introducing networks
Introducing your connections is a great way of adding value and demonstrates a professional commitment of support. As a marketing and branding activity, I encourage mindfulness of the benefits of this. Always respond with gratitude and thanks to all parties. It takes time to craft an introduction and you want to encourage more of them. Don’t take them for granted.
