Adding a note to a LinkedIn connection request is a bit like walking into a room and saying "hello" with a smile, instead of just waltzing in and staring at everyone. It's a small touch, but it makes a world of difference. Here's why:
Hello, who are you?
Do your prospective customers, your audience, know your name? Make a very simple change to your Instagram business bio (or any of your business social channel bios) to ensure that your name is right there, front and centre.
Social is meant to be social, make it easy for your peeps to strike up a conversation and feel like they know you.
