Meeting people online is nothing unusual nowadays when it comes to networking as many people feel they can meet others faster this way. With that unfortunately means a lot of people treat it like some dating app where profiles are quickly glanced upon as one makes a fast judgement call to determine if they want to learn more about a specific professional. What was interesting was for one platform I was reading how a person refuses to answer anything that communicates using the platform\u2019s template responses.<\/p>\n
For example, there could be a bunch of pre-set greetings where it simply says hello while asking how the person is. I suppose the logic behind it is if people aren\u2019t willing to invest the time to give you a personal greeting of sort then you shouldn\u2019t invest any time on them as well. Would that seem appropriate to you in this case? In some ways I guess it does where answering with templates in this way is like everyone is being treated as a number. I would imagine people want genuine business connections too.<\/p>\n
Then again I guess some people just wouldn\u2019t know how to start the conversation so they need it. But that would be weird too as initiating a connection should mean you have something interesting to relate with to get things going. Reminds me when people e-mail spam companies and they say they ignore every generic template greeting. Putting a little time to make your message unique to your recipient can go a long way in building that relationship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
