Building a Strategic Network on LinkedIn
By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter
LinkedIn carries so much weight with professionals today yet most people underuse it. Rachel Simon and I discuss how to build a strategic network on LinkedIn that will help you now and throughout your career.
Jeff Altman 00:04
My guest today is Rachel Simon. Rachel is the founder and CEO of Connect the Dots Digital. And she’s hired by professionals to create an authentic presence, add value and build relationships on LinkedIn. She understands that for many people, LinkedIn can often be overwhelming, difficult, I’ll add in tedious and boring, but that’s my own opinion in there. And she strives to make it fun while teaching how to use its features to achieve real business goals. Rachel, hey, thanks for making time to speak with everyone today.
Rachel Simon 00:40
Happy to be here and no one’s allowed to say LinkedIn is boring. It’s super fun, you just have to make it fun.
Jeff Altman 00:49
Agreed. And, folks, we’re gonna be talking about building a strategic network on LinkedIn. And probably the e,asiest place for us to start off with is making sure we all understand the term. So what is a strategic network anyway?
Rachel Simon 01:04
Yeah, it’s a, you know, something that I think we don’t often define. So the way I would define it is that your LinkedIn network is representing the people, the various audiences that are important to you for your personal and professional business goals. So it’s great to have a lot of people in there, but you want to make sure that those are the people that are actually invested and care about what it is that you’re invested in, and that you care about.
Jeff Altman 01:34
And thus, for, I’m gonna deal with this transnational stuff. The person who contacts me daily, because I get all these notes about podcast, promotion, and I had no need for that, really. But now they want to connect with me because they want to sell services. To me, it’s really about focusing on what’s important to me, as I look ahead in my career, that correct?
Rachel Simon 02:01
Yeah, I would agree with that. So, you know, look, everybody’s got their line of work, what they do, and I’m not digging on the graphic designers that are based overseas. However, I’m not really, if I’m not in the market for that, adding multiple people who do that isn’t going to necessarily benefit my LinkedIn goals, versus adding people who are business owners who are looking to utilize the platform better. So really thinking about who should you be connecting with and what are your goals, right? Because we have a balance of goals. I have my personal goals because I really love meeting interesting people. And I have, you know, LinkedIn friends all over the world, that falls into the personal side. And then there’s the professional side, which is wanting to engage with potential customers, targets, referral sources, and whatnot.
Jeff Altman 03:00
Gotcha, so for the employed professional, the person who works for a company of any size, as they’re starting to formulate what their goals should be– People that they’ve obviously already worked with, they want to stay in touch with former colleagues, how do they start looking beyond that to who they should be connected with? And who they should avoid?
03:27
Yeah, and I think that like saying ‘avoid’ is a bit of a strong term. Yeah, it’s really, you know, who do you want to put your time and effort towards? And then who is like me. If you want to connect with the graphic designer based overseas, great, but will that really add much to, your network? Maybe, maybe they’re amazing, and they have lots of things to teach you about graphic design. Or maybe they just want to sell you their services. Again, no dissing on the graphic designers. We love you. And we appreciate what you do for us. But a great place to start is really to figure out well, who the heck is in my network now. And so something that I do with all of my clients is I have them download their LinkedIn network. So you and a lot of people are like, you can do that? And I’m sure you 
know this but for your listeners who may or may not know, you have access to so much of your LinkedIn data. You find it through the settings, we could probably put a link in your show notes on how to do it. But you can download your current LinkedIn network. So you put in the request, it processes, you get the file as a CSV file and you get first name, last name. You used to get an email address. They took that away. You may see a few emails on there, but for the most part that’ll be blank. You get position, company and date connected. So You download that. And you can . . . I like to add a couple of columns on the left hand side columns like client, colleague, target, referral source, whatever. And you can sort it. Generally the best way to sort it’s by company, and then by position, and then you can get a sense of who’s in there. So understanding what the makeup of your current network is, can be really, really powerful. Because I don’t know about you, Jeff, but for me, I’ve been on LinkedIn since 2011. I know many people have been on it even longer. Do you remember who you connected to back in the early days.
Jeff Altman 05:38
Probably friends, because in those days, because I was member 7653, in those days, they were encouraging you to open up your email addresses so that they could build their network out, right. So no one does that anymore, unless you’re a newbie, and you just don’t know.
Rachel Simon 05:56
Exactly. So one of your friends, who you connected to back in the early days, could potentially be in a position now where they might be a target, a referral source, a door opener, but you don’t know because they fallen off your radar, because as you build your network, it’s hard to keep up with everybody. So when you download your network into a spreadsheet, and you can sort it, it gives you the opportunity to really take a path to see, am I connected to my targets? And where are those hidden gems and there are always hidden gems in there. Again, those people that you forgot about, who might now be a really valuable person to reengage and reconnect with, and they’re so easy to reconnect with, because you’re already connected with them. So it’s like, hey, so and so, I didn’t realize you worked at XYZ company. Like, that’s awesome. I’d love to catch up. It’s been ages, since we chatted. Let’s grab a virtual coffee. Of course, they’re gonna say yes. They’re already in your network.
Six Questions To Ask In The Interview To Avoid Any Surprises Your First Day On The Job
Jeff Altman 07:00
And it’s so easy, because, again, by comparison, to the olden days on LinkedIn, that you probably remember going back to 2011, and how bad messaging used to be, and how much easier it is now. And that there were also sending messages out to people to remind you to log on to see that you’ve got messages there. Because that used to be the dirty little secret about LinkedIn. Unless you were job hunting, unless you were on the platform, no one saw those messages that were sent to you. But now they are pushing and prodding and cajoling to get you back on the platform to see those messages and so much more.
Rachel Simon 07:40
Yeah, absolutely. So when you are able to then assess who’s in your network that can give you some direction as far as well,. Where do I go from here? So this was something that I had a few clients I’ve worked with when they took a pass on their network and their realize that they really weren’t connected with their targets, or their targets represented such a small proportion of their overall network. So that tells them, ‘I need to do some strategic building and some Strategic Outreach with people in this sector, so that I can start to build my network in a way that the people I want to be doing business with, are there and I can engage with them, and hey can engage with me, and we can build that relationship to hopefully go down the road of a business conversation.
Jeff Altman 08:30
So just to recap what we’ve covered so far, because we’re about to segue, you know, we’ve talked about let’s first identify who’s in the network, what positions they hold, where they work. And thus you can identify the less attractive people to you versus the more attractive people to you, the ones who shall we say you can obtain benefit from and thus rreconnect. But now we’re seguing to how do you build that network? .ow do you develop a strategic network of relationships so that it benefits you and of course, benefits other people? So where does someone start?
Rachel Simon 09:15
Yeah, so a good place to start again, is to think about well, who are the people I want to be engaging with right? Who are the people that are important to me as far as my business goals are concerned? So spending some time utilizing search. I think the even the free, you know, the basic LinkedIn search is pretty
powerful, depending on how you utilize the filters, right. So
Jeff Altman 09:43
filters?
Rachel Simon 09:46
Let’s use a scenario where you are looking for marketing directors based in, I’m in Atlanta, Georgia, so I’m gonna say Atlanta, Georgia. So just by using the location filter of Greater Atlanta metropolitan area, searching for your second degree connections. So you already have somebody in common. And you can put in various titles. You can put in various companies. If there are certain companies that you’re looking to build some relationships within. And that’ll give you an idea of who those people are. So that you can do a couple of things. If there’s somebody who comes up who you have a ton of connections with, and you may actually even maybe know them in the real world, but you didn’t realize you weren’t connected on LinkedIn. That’s an easy connection request. Always personalize it, find something to say, Please don’t just say ‘I’d like to add you to my professional network.’
Jeff Altman 10:47
NO!
Rachel Simon 10:49
I also would highly discourage saying generic things like, ‘-I’m looking to add professionals in the marketing space.’ Like, there’s so much information in people’s LinkedIn profiles. Go to their profile. Find something that you can reference, whether that’s something within their profile, a piece of content, something. . . please. It takes two minutes, and it makes such a big impact.
Jeff Altman 11:15
Be a human being folks. Don’t be a drone. Drones use the the offerings that LinkedIn gives you that are so boring and bland, that you recognize right away. There’s no humanity.
Rachel Simon 11:28
Exactly. And I always like to say that, if something would be awkward in person, it’s just as awkward on LinkedIn. So like, put yourself in a face-to-face scenario. If you walked up to somebody at a networking event, stuck out your hand and was like, ‘I’d love to add you to my professional network,’ they’d look at you like, ‘what the heck is wrong with you?’
Jeff Altman 11:49
Where’s shall I count the ways. How should I count the ways
Rachel Simon 11:54
Would this be awkward in person? If your answer is yes, then don’t do it. So again, I was saying that if there’s somebody who seems like they would be an easily added to your network, because you have a lot of people in common, you can go that route. If there’s somebody who you would look to start to build that relationship and that rapport with, if they’re an active content creator, meaning they’re posting, and I define active as at least one post a week, you don’t have to post a million times a day, if they’re creating one post a week, I would consider that to be active, start engaging with their content. Drop a meaningful comment, go back, see what they’re posting. You can start to build that rapport,. Because you and I are both content creators, believe me, when people comment on my posts that I’m not connected to, I’m gonna go check out their profile. I appreciate when my second and third degree connections start to engage with my content, because they’re seeing me somewhere. I want to understand a little bit about them. Also, looking at their content can give you something to talk about in a connection request. Hey, Jeff, I saw your post about you know, XYZ that was really interesting. You know, what do you think about baba, baba, baba, you know, hope to connect. Right? And anytime anybody references a piece of content at a connection request, I’m gonna connect with them because they took the time to go and check out my profile and check out my content. So starting to build that rapport goes a long way, in relationship building,
Jeff Altman 13:40
There is a difference between relationship building and building numbers. People add a lot of numbers. They don’t build relationships. And the problem becomes there comes the point where you want someone to do something for you. And we’re not talking about a strategy for when you’re aggressively looking for work. And you’re trying to connect with 1000s of people and going ‘hey, do you know of any jobs?’ Number one, you don’t want to be the recipient of those InMails or messages, and they don’t want to be the recipient from you. So you kind of invest the time to build a relationship so that over time, people want to do stuff, not because you’re demanding it, but because they want to.
9 Ways People Sabotage Themselves on Interviews
Rachel Simon 14:25
Yeah, you’re building that social capital, right? You’re building that goodwill, so that when you do need something, and maybe it is a door opener for a job. Maybe it’s ‘Hey, you know, I just put this new blog out. I spent a lot of time on it. I’m trying to get a little bit more eyeballs on it. I’d love to have your you know, you chime in. You don’t want to ask just any random person to comment on your post. People do that and I’m like, and you want, who are you? But if somebody that I have a long-term relationship with on LinkedIn sent me a piece of their content because they’re really trying to get it seen because it’s important to them. Of course, I’m going to help them out, because they would help me out. So it’s that relationship building right again. Would you do it in the real world? If somebody, a random stranger walked up and needed your help. Now they’re stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire, you probably would help them. But in other, you know, non-extreme situations, you’d probably be like, no, no, thanks.
Jeff Altman 15:34
There’s no reason to. It’s like being approached by someone asking you for money. You know, maybe someone catches you on a day where you’re feeling empathetic. But I’m an ex-New Yorker, and I was in New York, you’re being approached by people incessantly panhandling, and you just can’t respond to everyone.
Rachel Simon 15:57
It’s true. It’s true. Yeah. And it doesn’t mean that you’re not a kind of empathetic person. It’s, it’s just sort of what the situation I mean, you know, you can’t everybody $10 to help them because then you would be the one out there asking
Jeff Altman 16:14
pretty quickly. Yes. So what I’ve heard you talk about now is connecting with people who would make sense for you to connect with, and working on building a relationship. And in building that relationship, like, it’s commenting on their posts, commenting on their articles, I’m hearing commenting a lot as being part of this so that they notice you. Am I interpreting that correctly?
Rachel Simon 16:44
Commenting, I actually wrote, I posted about commenting a fair amount. And because it’s so powerful. It can stand in when you don’t know what to write one day if you’re having writer’s block, and you’re like, ‘I have no idea what to write.’ Just spend time commenting, because that commenting gives I think I’ve described it as a win win win. It’s a win for you, because you don’t know what to write, you spend some time commenting that gets you seen in the newsfeed and seen potentially by a broader network, based on your first degree connections, their network, who you’re not connected to– the seconds and thirds might see your comment. It’s a win for the person writing the post, because their content is going to get more amplification. And it’s a win for you in another way is 
that your comment, you could actually take that comment if it’s a good one, and turn that into its own standalone posts down the road. So commenting is super, super important. Yeah, all about definitely worth time well spent in the comments.
Jeff Altman 17:54
And this part of what you want to be doing folks is developing an identity on LinkedIn. And that’s about the relationship, but to be seen as an expert on whatever your expertise is. So that when search firms and search professionals, which can be institutional search professionals, are out there looking for someone, you want to differentiate yourself from the people who are applying. They’re coming through the applicant tracking system. They’re trying to cut through the noise and be seen, and you want to be the one that they’re able to find. Now, there’s no guarantee about that, obviously, but the notion that you can write a comment that’s noticed by people, that its intelligence, and its suitability for the subject, causes someone to go ‘oh, oh, take a look at that for a second.”
Rachel Simon 18:52
Yeah, you know, it just occurred to me. And it’s almost like demonstrated interest. So I have a senior in high school. So we’re going through the whole college application process, and colleges, some of them really, really want to see that the students who are applying have demonstrated interest in that school, meaning they’re engaging, they’re opening the emails that are coming from the school, they’re engaging on social media posts from the school that they’ve taken a tour or they’ve done a virtual tour or whatever. You can almost think about that as demonstrated interest on LinkedIn as an applicant to the target company. Don’t you think that like if a company is seeing an applicant more engaged with decision-makers’ posts on the company page to this than the other that might rise above some of the others?
Jeff Altman 19:47
Yeah. And it reminds me of an Instagram strategy, of course, which is taking contact that you meet on one platform like LinkedIn, and then going over to Insta to see if there’s a way that you can cut through the noise that so often exists on LinkedIn, and really comment on a photograph or a video or what have you on Instagram, and start building that connection, while concurrently doing what you can on LinkedIn. And again, I keep thinking in terms of time. You and I, this is our business. This is what we do to promote ourselves and to stand out from the pack for us. HIt seems like commenting is like the homerun way of having major impact with I don’t wanna say minimal effort. You can’t just do a thumbs-up.
Rachel Simon 20:44
Or a great post. Definitely don’t say that, or Thank you. That’s just, uh,
Jeff Altman 20:49
it’s garbage.
Rachel Simon 20:50
Yeah, it doesn’t do anything. Yeah. So I’m glad you brought up the timing, because I think, and I posted about this recently as well, you can get a lot done in 30 to 45 minutes a day. So there’s a couple of ways that that can be done. 15 minutes in the morning, 15 minutes at lunch. 15 minutes in the evening. I think like most people, I’m rarely far from this thing.
Jeff Altman 21:20
What’s that you got?
Rachel Simon 21:23
It’s pretty much like with me all the time.
Jeff Altman 21:26
For folks who listen to this as a podcast, she was holding up her phone.
Rachel Simon 21:30
Yeah, yes. I spent plenty of time scrolling, aimlessly scrolling Facebook aimlessly scrolling Instagram, looking at food videos, okay? I’m sure there’s people listening who endlessly scroll Tik Tok. I’m not on Tik Tok, don’t plan on it at this point. Twitter, if you take some of that time that you’re spending aimlessly on other social media platforms, and direct it meaningfully on LinkedIn, there you go. Spend some time in the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, drop two to three comments in each time slot. You can do it. That’s doable, that’s doable. You know, when you’re waiting in line or waiting in the waiting room at the doctor’s office, spend your time scrolling LinkedIn versus scrolling something else where you are there’s no opportunity for you to engage meaningfully. So just redirecting your time can can make that a doable process. And then the more you . . . it’s like building any habit, the more you build that habit, the more natural it becomes. And then you actually want to spend more time there.
Jeff Altman 22:48
So in comments, can you add an image to a comment? Or is that just flat?
Rachel Simon 22:54
You can add an image, you can add a GIF, you can have fun with it. You know, also the other thing I love about comments, I know we kind of segued a bit from like the networking piece, but it all goes together is that you can really show your personality. Through the comments. You can have a little sense of humor, you can have a sense of humor in your content too. But some people aren’t quite comfortable with that from the jump. But you can have a little fun in the comments. You can be a little bit light-hearted. You can you know, it doesn’t have to be like ‘I’m so serious. I’m such a professional.’ Show your personality, have some fun, but add value in your comment.
Jeff Altman 23:34
Don’t be stupid folks.
Rachel Simon 23:37
Yeah, I would say for the most part, most people on LinkedIn are on pretty good behavior when it comes to social media, in comparison to some of the other platforms. There’s always some eyebrow-raising things from time to time. But for the most part, I think because it’s a more professional network. And again, your current and future employers are looking like or they’re you don’t want to be saying something really stupid, that’s gonna get you in trouble.
Jeff Altman 24:11
Coming back to networking, because I pulled this back over to content there for a second. What sorts of things, what other sorts of things should people be doing to enhance the network, do the strategic networking that’s going to serve them for many years of their career?
The Easiest Way to Build a Personal Brand
Rachel Simon 24:30
Yeah, well, I think another piece that, thankfully is coming back, and it’s on my mind, because I’m going to a conference next week iin-personon stuff. So when you’re out and about, when you’re going to a conference or going to a networking event, you know, you take the opportunity to connect with people that you meet there. And on your phone on your mobile app is this nifty little QR code that you can use that makes it so easy to just like open it up, scan, and boom,
connection requests sent. Those would be the cases when you don’t need to add a note because like, if I just meet you, and of course, you know who I am, you know where we met. So really leveraging networking opportunities when they present themselves, because why wouldn’t you connect with people that you are meeting out and about in the real world, right? If you’re going, if you’re invited to attend a webinar, whether it’s, you know, Zoom, or workshop, drop your LinkedIn profile in the chat, ‘Hey, happy to connect with anybody who’s attending here today. Just taking advantage of opportunities when they present themselves, whether those are virtual or in person, I think is a really great way to continue to build good people on your network.
Jeff Altman 25:49
I’m always think in terms of folks, who knows about you? And if you’re well known in your company, great! Work for a 50,000-person company, 50 know about you? 100 know about you? And maybe, and how do you develop the relationship so more people know about you so you get to the front of the line in worse situations. And doing stuff like Rachel’s talking about it makes such a difference. these small, simple steps to promote yourself and identify yourself as an expert, itreally does make a difference. So you’re going to a conference, you’re going to be meeting people, you’re going to be promoting yourself and connecting with people who you meet there. What are the sorts of things can people do?
Rachel Simon 26:44
I mean, I think that you know, using the direct messaging the right way, and I say the right way, because there’s a wrong way. And the wrong way, is when we connect, ‘Hey, Jeff, great to connect with you. Blah, blah, blah, Here’s everything you’d ever want to know about me? Would you like to get on a call or schedule a call? Like, hello, random stranger? No.
Jeff Altman 27:09
Random stranger of Pakistan who would like to speak to me? Yes.
Rachel Simon 27:13
So that’s, you know, lovingly referred to in our world as pitch slapping when you immediately connect with somebody, and then they send you a pitch. And the that can be . . . there’s multiple things that I think are problematic with that. Number one, again, this is like a new person for you. They don’t know you. You don’t know them. So asking somebody for 15 minutes of their time, is a little presumptuous, I think. Now, if you’ve been going back and forth, engaging with their content for a while, that’s a different story. I think because you already have built that sort of foundation of your rapport. And so it can be much easier to convert that into a conversation. Another thing that people often do too often is they immediately send a link to some resource from the jump. Now, it might be an awesome resource. But some people can take that as being a bit presumptuous. A better strategy would be ‘I have, a LinkedIn profile checklist. Would you be interested in receiving it? ‘ Asking permission to send a link or I have, you know, I’ve got a great new blog about building relationships on LinkedIn with lots of tips, may I send it to you?’ Asking permission?. Now, everybody, you may only get a handful of people who say yes, but you’ve given them the opportunity, versus you’re throwing it out them.
Jeff Altman 28:59
You qualify them since because otherwise you’re a spammer. And no one wants to, no one wants to be thought of as a spammer. But that’s what you’ll be.
Tough Interview Questions for Managers: How Do You Delegate to Your Team?
Rachel Simon 29:09
Right? You know, it was interesting, because I had a, I come in, I’m going to a great networking group called Success Champion Networking. And you know, I’ve gone it and teach it, at lots of the different group meetings in different cities. It’s all done virtually. That’s how I can get myself to different places all over the country. And I was in one a couple of months ago, and one of the women in that group was like, ‘you know, I really genuinely want to get to know my new connections, but when I send my Calendly link, I don’t get a lot of responses.’ And I empathize with her because I know she wasn’t trying to spam people. She genuinely did want to get to know people. But I said, ‘you know, think about it from their perspective. If they’re getting five messages a day, and every one of those people is asking for 15 minutes of their time, that’s an hour and 15 minutes of their time that’s being requested per day. Like, you have to think about what that feels like. And that can be perceived, again, as presumptuous, versus building that relationship and then earn the right to ask for a call.
Jeff Altman 30:27
Agreed. I get four or five daily. And at this point, I don’t respond to any of them, unless there’s some hook that catches my eye. And it’s so rare at this point because it looks like a bad habits have been created.
Rachel Simon 30:46
I do really think that for ongoing, you know, I kind of go on the side of good intentions. Like I think most people have good intentions, and they legitimately want to get to know people. But it can just . . . like if I gave everybody 15 minutes, I would literally have no time to do anything else.
Jeff Altman 31:06
Of course. Now, I’m going to surprise you here for a second. And that is in your intro, you spoke about making LinkedIn fun. How do you make LinkedIn fun while doing this strategic networking,
Rachel Simon 31:20
You connect with fun people. I mean, that’s really how I make it fun. I have amazing, fun, entertaining, brilliant people in my network that I have built relationships with over the last several years. And so their content is both entertaining and educational. We go back and forth in the DMs. I’ve met several of them in person. Like you make it fun based on who’s in your network and how you engage with them. You know, and that’s really it. It’s not rocket science. It’s really about going in with the intention of I’m going to build a network that serves me, and I really do want it to serve your personal and your professional goals, because we bring our full self to work. So why would we not bring our full self to our LinkedIn presence? I mean, you should.
Jeff Altman 32:23
ALSO BE PROFESSIONAL. STAFFED SHIRTS. BOING. b=Bull.
Rachel Simon 32:30
No. I mean, I always like whenever anybody you know, pushes back on that stuff, my response is, ‘you know, when I worked in an office, or offices for 15 years, I talked about my kids, I talked about my husband, I talked about what the heck was going to make for dinner, I talked about what my favorite TV show was or what restaurant I went to, over the weekend. You talk about your life with your colleagues. So peppering in your life into your LinkedIn profile and your LinkedIn presence is what makes it fun. If it’s all case studies and white papers.
Jeff Altman 33:10
Boring. What haven’t we covered yet that we really should. Because I know there’s a million parts of LinkedIn now unlike, back when I started with it, and it was have a profile, connect with people that you know,
Rachel Simon 33:28
I think we hit a lot of the high points like, right, know who’s in your network, think about who are the people you should be bringing in, like, new connections. Make sure you’re really working on your current connections. You know, you don’t want to forget who’s in your current network, using comments and content become top of mind. Right? That’s what gets you seen in the newsfeed because it’s really easy to forget about people. I mean, no offense to anybody listening, but you know, LinkedIn is serving you to a very small subset of your network. And at any given point, this subset that you were being served to three months ago may not be seeing you and they probably forgot about you. I mean, that’s just the way it is. It’s like, you know, out of sight, out of mind, it happens all the time. Like, something will occurred where do they go? And it’s probably just for whatever reason, algorithms decided to serve me someone else’s content. There’s only so much you can see in any given time. So do yourself a favor and just try to remain as top of mind as possible, so that people don’t forget about you.
Jeff Altman 34:51
Amen. Rachel, this has been fun. How can people find out more about you and the work that you do?
Rachel Simon 34:57
They can find me on LinkedIn.
Jeff Altman 34:59
Hey, what a coincidence! What’s the URL to your LinkedIn page?
35:05
It’s RAKSimon. That’s my, the end of my LinkedIn URL, or you can just look me up. Rachel Simon. You’ll see I have a teal background and I’ve got big curly red hair. I’m pretty easy to spot. And having good branding helps to ttand out. That’s another topic for another conversation.
Jeff Altman 35:30
