I think it's because we are a multiracial family and my kids have unusual names, making me more memorable. I've noticed that people who met me and my family at some point in the past usually remember me now, which never used to be true in my life. QUESTION: How do you to prefer to reach out to those LinkedIn contacts you don't know so well? Please let me know in the comments below.This used to be me, although my memory is starting to fade. If your note is thoughtful and brief, that’s generally all you need. There’s no requirement that you lead with the fact that it’s been a while. When you don’t talk to someone regularly, it’s understandable to want to put your best foot forward, but not in your mouth. I hope you have a great holiday season and look forward to seeing you at industry events in the New Year. It was great catching up after your keynote. If you think they’ll need context then give it and go on to write what you would to another contact. Personally, I tell myself, “Sack up and get it done.” If I need an extra push I watch Alec Baldwin's monologue from Glenngarry Glen Ross. I don’t have really great advice for this. I know for me, if someone is a VIP in my mind I feel like reaching out to them is wasting their time. FOR SOMEONE IMPORTANT: “IT WAS GREAT CATCHING UP. We can get lunch, jump on a brief call, or if you prefer I can email you a few questions.ģ. How are you liking it? I’m thinking of making a move there myself and would appreciate hearing about what the transition was like for you. I see from LinkedIn that you’re currently working in. Skip the awkwardness, and use Face Book for something productive for a change. “Remember me” misses the mark in this scenario because obviously they know you. Unless you are actually stalking them, it is a lot friendlier. ”ĭo some internet stalking to get up to speed. FOR SOMEONE YOU HAVEN’T SPOKEN TO IN A WHILE: “I SEE FROM LINKEDIN THAT. Could I email you a few questions about what it’s like working there?Ģ. I’m reaching out because I see you work at and they have an opening I’m interested in. Would you start by blurting out you don’t remember them, or wait until you remember and then reintroduce yourself with how you’re connected? The second option helps conversation flow more naturally (and an ask won’t feel as out of place). Imagine if you saw that person face-to-face. Maybe you even had to think for a minute about exactly how you connected, so starting a message with “Remember me?” seems totally reasonable. You connected on LinkedIn - and that is it. We all have connections we don’t actually know. FOR SOMEONE YOU HAVE ONLY MET ON LINKEDIN: “WE MET AT ” Just skip the part where you say, “We’re practically strangers.” Here’s how.ġ. While you’re coming from a sincere place, it’s pretty audacious to ask for something from someone while at the same time blatantly admitting you barely know them. ” is an honest admission that lets them know you are not being fake. Isn’t it good then to at least be authentic? “Remember me?” or even, “You probably don’t remember me.

That person who's the quintessential networker.ĭon't you just hate them? Maybe not outright but you probably know that networking and professional connections are hugely important in our lives and you just hate that somehow networking and making connections is SO easy to them and every time you try it feels sleazy. That person who keeps winning friends and influencing people.

That person who knows how to work a room. That person with the perfect elevator pitch. We all have that person in our lives who seems to be connected to everyone.
