The other evening I was at a BNI (Business Networking International) social event and had a conversation with someone that had connected with me via LinkedIn. I had told him that I was impressed with his willingness to extend himself to our group. He then told me that someone in the group had messaged him back after his request and wanted more information from him about connecting. I had to smile because the other person had taken one of my social media training classes and was doing exactly what I suggested!
