Many years back I would accept all connection requests. Connecting with people is always good. I thought that is networking.
A lot of people connect based on titles & designations. I used to do this when I was working. I thought those with bigger titles are more successful. I thought that is networking.
Many folks connect with people they think can help them. This is probably the most common. I used to do this as well. I thought this was networking.
A few people connect with people they can help. This is rare in today's world. But very powerful.
Networking works on a simple principle those who give will always get more. If you give your network will benefit, and people in your network will grow & they will give back to you. This is also the secret to networking I found a few years ago. This is really networking.
