Answers to Module 2Answer to question 1-

#2 – You need to promote your membership and get involved with your contacts for the best networking results.

Answer to question 2 –#1. False. Not everyone should be in your network. Choose who you want to include based on what is best for your business.#2. False. The number of people has no value, if you don’t use the platform to promote yourself and your business in a helpful and profession manor. #3. True. Strategize on how to use the platform to provide communication more efficiently and effectively with those who can help you to grow your business. Schedule your time for the best results.

Answer to question 3 –False. The most effective way to use LinkedIn is to make connections with those in your whole network. LinkedIn was designed so that you can ‘see’ the connections you have and thus create an opportunity to be introduced or connect with a greater number of people.

Answer to question 4 –#2. As with any networking opportunity it’s about give and take. You want to help others and in turn they will help you. It is important to think about the benefits you have to offer and how you can contribute to get the best results. This can be done by taking the time to learn more about the person you are trying to connect with, taking time to offer helpful answers to questions or sharing information via links to your groups or your status updates.

Answer to question 5 – False - At this time LinkedIn limits you to 50 groups. You can drop out of groups in order to join new ones.
