However, it’s important to note that a better network is different from a bigger network. Use these three unique tips to improve the quality of your network:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Professionalism matters, but keep it approachable\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our profile acts as a way for potential connections to see what we’re about and decide whether or not they should send a connection request. Consider the manner in which our profile is filled out. Does it seem like we were filling out a job application with our answers? Is our profile rigid and matter of fact? Is it fully filled out, giving others as much information as they need? Are we following the recommended \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fblog\u002Flinkedin-image-size\u002F\">LinkedIn image size\u003C\u002Fa>? It’s an observed idea that a full profile is much more likely to attract more connections, so make sure yours is complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-43315\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"541\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192131\u002Fhow-to-network-on-linkedin.jpg\" alt=\"A puzzle built up of business people.\" class=\"wp-image-43315\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192131\u002Fhow-to-network-on-linkedin.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192131\u002Fhow-to-network-on-linkedin-450x304.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192131\u002Fhow-to-network-on-linkedin-768x519.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Build an extensive profile that is inviting to others.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another thing to consider here is the extent to which our profile is approachable. In order to ensure this, add necessary details but make sure they are backed up by some sort of story or intriguing narration whenever possible. This gives potential connections better insight into who we are further than our job title or work history. To help get started, think about some of the most interesting connection profiles you’ve seen on LinkedIn. Consider what drew you in about them and try to emulate these positive traits.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Explore the different groups for a while\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You’d be surprised at how many different groups there are available on LinkedIn. The system often automatically recommends us groups, though there’s certain to be some you’re unaware of that could be beneficial. Chances are that a lot of groups that interest you also interest people you may have already met or known from the past. These are some of the easiest connections to add to your network!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-43318\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"326\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192131\u002Fhow-to-network-on-linkedin-2.jpg\" alt=\"Stick figures of different color.\" class=\"wp-image-43318\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192131\u002Fhow-to-network-on-linkedin-2.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192131\u002Fhow-to-network-on-linkedin-2-450x183.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192131\u002Fhow-to-network-on-linkedin-2-768x313.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">There are a lot of unique groups to check out on LinkedIn.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One measure you could take is doing a search for new groups. Decide first what types would potentially open up the possibility of meeting exciting, helpful connections. Similarly, make sure the groups you search for and join have some sort of relevance to you – we’re not just blindly trying to enter groups in order to pack on numbers to our network.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Set some standards to guide you along the way\u003C\u002Fh3>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it’s certainly important to have a broad network of connections, you won’t truly boost your network by filling it with every possible person encountered. As the saying goes, less is more. This is definitely true for LinkedIn networking. This doesn’t have to mean deleting network connections that you haven’t interacted with enough. In fact, it should urge you to improve upon the current state of your connections. That is, if your network is overflowing with unknown people, try changing this by reaching out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-43320\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192130\u002Fhow-to-network-on-linkedin-4.jpg\" alt=\"A person uses a laptop for networking.\" class=\"wp-image-43320\" srcset=\"\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192130\u002Fhow-to-network-on-linkedin-4.jpg 800w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192130\u002Fhow-to-network-on-linkedin-4-450x300.jpg 450w, \u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192130\u002Fhow-to-network-on-linkedin-4-768x512.jpg 768w\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Create some set of guidelines to follow concerning your network.\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, the goal isn’t to create a giant network of meaningless connections and attempt to get to know everyone in the group. That would be too much work and not purposeful. Instead, it’s important to create specific standards or guidelines to help determine how you want to grow your network. For example, you could decide to accept requests from only two different groups: people you’ve met in person and people who are from similar fields\u002Findustries.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With these tips to boost your process, it should be easier to better handle your overall LinkedIn experience. Remember that it’s important to remain consistent throughout this entire process. It will enable you to continuously locate new and important contacts to add to your network.\u003C\u002Fp>",3,{"url":36,"url_md":37,"alt":38,"height":39,"width":40},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192130\u002Fhow-to-network-on-linkedin-3.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F04\u002F19192130\u002Fhow-to-network-on-linkedin-3-450x300.jpg","Business people digitally linked together.",533,800,[42],{"id":43,"slug":43,"title":44,"path":45},"industry-insights","Industry insights","\u002Fpost-category\u002Findustry-insights\u002F",[47,54,61],{"featuredImage":48,"postId":49,"slug":50,"title":51,"description":52,"path":53},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2020\u002F05\u002F19191722\u002Fcustomer-experience-trends-25-450x266.jpg",45329,"customer-experience-trends","Dynamic customer experience trends to look out for in 2021","Though trends are hard to predict, there are some steps to make sure you don’t miss them completely.
