I am not the other "gal" but have people request me on a consistent basis but don't pre-introduce themselves. So when I send a thank you for their interest and quiry about themselves, generally 2% respond back. Also I do use a short 2 sentence description plus link since they took the time to request me, but do you really know me and what I may have to offer--I may just be another face of a "mutual friend." I find those people just want to grow their numbers thru even my connections as well. I have gotten frustrated over this and started deleting people--yup, they were trying to sell me something, especially their music and I don't even like that type. Real relationships are built over time and time for me to dwindle down my numbers and get to the heart of real networking and sharing. This is a bit longwinded but thank you and, yes, that's it is quite fine to be honest and frank with "friends". Thank you for this article.

I'm glad you did and thanks for sharing a good example with the world. Tim, it takes courage and integrity to take a reply like that and do something positive with it.

I used to do concert promotion and I realized for a long time, I was "that guy." As I got older, I realized that the most successful concert promoters were the ones with the most friends. If people liked you, then they would be more apt to attend your function regardless of what kind of event it was. Obviously, we have to be sneaky about it, but it's best to continue working hard at getting to know new people and maintain quality rapports with your current connections. In the end, it always works out that any business that is generated based on those relationships tend to be more fruitful than a linear one. I'm planning to stick around, Tim, because I like to support local businesses. Nice to meet your acquaintance. It's great to see other people growing in social media like I am! Hey Tim,
