5. A few points to remember
•Your goal should be to build a mutually beneficial relationship.
•You’re limited to the number of characters in an LinkedIn invitation.
•You don’t have to mention the word “invitation” in your message because it will
appear in the invitation section of the LinkedIn inbox.
•Be authentic and honest people can tell when you’re not.
