You spent a lot of time putting networking in the proper context to one's business needs and purpose. You shared some great tips and insights on networking. But more importantly, you shared the importance of time and energy you devote to maintaining those relationships. It is hard to imagine getting the volume of invitations you alluded to--100-150/week just from LinkedIn--and that is only one component of the many databases you use in your business. Whew.... Thanks, Caryl Hi Stan and Ron:

Outstanding. First time I've heard anything from Ron Bates. His history with LI reflects my history - certainly to a much lesser degree; but I too started with reluctance and now I am an avid user who now "gets it" and it now brings business in the door. I think for most, you need to get past the "gets it" stage and then it all makes perfect sense. Again, very good. Best regards. Jeff Jeffrey L.

I loved how Ron clarifies the quality vs. quantity issue so cogently. The understanding that how large or small your desired network is should depend on what you do and what your objectives are for in networking is very important. Based on my conversations with you and the insight of your guests as well as other LI users, I have come to the conclusion that there is no best way to network - there are different approaches that are right for different people. Looking forward to the next one! Michael Great show again Stan.

It's inspiring to hear the thoughts of one of the foremost internet networkers. I was partucilarly intersted to hear Ron's comments about implied familiarity. Having been an Executive Recruiter myself for over 10 years I have found linkedin to be not only hugely beneficial to myself in that I can qualify a prospect but have also found that it has encouraged clients and prospective candidates to reduce barriers and instigate dialogue themselves, were previosly there may have been initial resistance. Great stuff. Look forward to hearing more. Regards Colin Hi Stan,
