You want to actively build up and expand your network, especially the people who are your ideal clients. There are a few advantages to connecting with them, namely allowing you to:
send multiple direct messages to them
keep yourself on top of mind by appearing on their newsfeed
send them a recommendation
strengthen your relationship
LinkedIn allows 100 connection requests per week, so make sure you use them wisely. It’s easy to hit the Send button without a note. Some people also use an automation tool to send mass requests with the same note to each individual.
However, that tends to lead to more ignored requests than acceptance. Since you’re limited to 100 connections/weekly, it’s better to maximize them!
