Is it bad to send LinkedIn message at night?
At LinkedIn, we crunched the numbers to find the absolute best time to send an InMail and we discovered: There is no best time. Any time of day gets fairly the same response rate because no matter when they receive the message, candidates respond only when it’s convenient for them.
Is it weird to add someone on LinkedIn?
So unless the person inviting you to connect is an obvious spammer, you should accept his or her invite. More important, you should be proactively searching for and connecting with key prospects in your niche or industry. Long story short, the more people you are connected to on LinkedIn, the better.
How do you respond when someone connects you on LinkedIn?
It’s always “Thanks.” Don’t pitch anything – whether it’s to ask for a meeting, for business or for a job. The purpose of a thank you is to build a relationship for the future, so simply thank the person for connecting. Don’t send a long message.
How do you respond to kudos on LinkedIn?
Here are a few ways to respond to a compliment:
- “Thank you, it makes my day to hear that.”
- “I really put a lot of thought into this, thank you for noticing.”
- “Thank you, I really appreciate you taking the time to express that.”
- “Thank you, I am happy to hear you feel that way!”
How do people on LinkedIn Connect with people they don’t know?
Instead of using InMail to contact people they don’t know (but with whom they want to do business) they just send a connection request with a (usually) vague message in it. So you will likely end up with an inbox on LinkedIn that’s filled with a mixture of people, some of whom you know–and with whom you do want to connect.
Should you disconnect when someone doesn’t respond to your LinkedIn messages?
If you send a “happy to connect” or other networking message to a new connection, and they don’t bother to respond, go ahead and disconnect. Give them some time to get back to you, though, because not everybody is on LinkedIn as often as you are. However, if they’re not active on LinkedIn, that does limit their ability to help you, too.
How often should you reply to LinkedIn requests?
To make it easy to reply on a regular basis, set aside a few minutes each week to respond to LinkedIn requests and to send personalized requests to people you met that week or anticipate meeting soon. Scan the person’s profile to see what you have in common (e.g., employers, schools, activities, etc). and what piques your interest.
How fussy should you be with your LinkedIn connections?
You should be at least as fussy with your LinkedIn connections as you are with your personal friends or evaluating people on a dating site. LinkedIn is for business connections, but there is no sense in spinning your wheels connecting with people who offer you nothing.
