@GaryBelsky: I use email to aid face-to-face networking. Most broad networking sites are a little crude. #RelationshipCapital
@vgnaman: Initial reach out is fine online, but there has to be a time in place for face to face #RelationshipCapital
@GaryBelsky: I first ask my connected friends who they know when I’m trying to “breach” an org’s walls. #RelationshipCapital
@rdwatkins: Many people are open to starting relationships online, fewer 2 business in online only mode. LinkedIn profile helps dev. #trust & #RelationshipCapital
@GaryBelsky: People want authentic engagement and more informed engagement. As long as it’s efficient and not stalkerish.
@vgnaman: But is being e-mail charming like being “real life” charming? So many people have online smarts but don’t have the same skills IRL.
@rdwatkins: I always explore background 1st, share common interests, etc; then find on LI to deepen… #RelationshipCapital
@GaryBelsky: Twitter, aka a strong clue that someone is interested in engagement with strangers. But…
@GaryBelsky: … when networking on Twitter don’t jump in with an immediate ask. Establish common ground. #relationshipcapital
@rdwatkins: Twitter has shown it has a low threshold for impacting the network, it’s easy to find keywords and people are transparent. #RelationshipCapital
