Are more LinkedIn Network Connections genuinely better?
There are a lot of lists in the careers industry coming out promoting those who have grown their connections so fast in recent months.
Personally, I have decreased my connections by 6,000 the last 8 months and I’m still at 29,000 connections and 37,000 followers.
I don’t accept everyone requesting to connect on LinkedIn since I’m not right for everyone, even if they are attempting to connect with me.
I’m a believer in more is not better.
