Quote

“My strategy for networking on LinkedIn is I will send a genuine note to someone if I engage with their content that I really do enjoy, or if I read an article that they like, and say ‘I liked this and I would love to be a part of your network and grow together.’ A take away I’ve learned is to take something they’ve read, but make it personal to them.” – Kit Huffman, Personal Branding Strategist at SENECA
