Increase
your social media acceptance rate – If you are wondering why people don’t accept
your Friend requests on Facebook or link with you on LinkedIn it may be because
you are giving a bad first impression. Persuasion theory suggests that you give
something before you ask for something. I was reading today in SPEAKERNETNEWS a
simple way to get people to accept you as a contact.
“When
inviting someone to accept you as a contact on LinkedIn or as a friend on
Facebook, including a sentence on how you know the person will increase the
chances they will accept. If you’re like me, you get invitations for
connections all the time from people you don’t remember or even know. By
including a simple, “We met at x” or “I know you from ” people will more
quickly respond.” — Rebecca Morgan
