Don't personalise your connection request - Bill McCormick Vs Mark Mc

Dec 6, 2020

Whilst a personalized connection request was once considered the best way 'in'…. it's now so overused and so cliché, that I argue, personalized connection requests are actually hurting your chances of connecting. You're better off sending a blank connection request... 
 
Bill McCormick, from Social Sales Link disagrees. He thinks, sending a well worded connection request is like getting a handwritten letter in the mail from your grandmother.  
 
I'm not so sure. 
 
In this episode we pace out two similar but different strategies to help you get connected to your perfect connection. 
 
I also share some really interesting detail about what works and doesn’t at scale. 
In short, Connecting, thanking and then following up – doesn’t work anymore.
