LinkedIn might know something I don't about business. Two days ago I received this message from them - "Adriana, Staying in touch with valuable contacts can help you in your career. Quickly connect to some people we think you know. Victor Alfieri, Actor at Warner Bros. Pictures."
I am aware that LinkedIn uses your address book and previous emails of people with whom you have communicated in the past. Victor and I exchanged thousands of emails in 2010 and 2011. No wonder LinkedIn believes we should connect in business.
It is funny that now his name appears first every time I open LinkedIn. It appears as the top suggestion to connect. Maybe I should reach out. He is the director of the movie I financed. We are still doing business together..... We should be "Linked In."
I will report on what happens with my request to Victor to connect. Will he connect with the Executive Producer of his first feature film? Will he reject the request? I now have almost 900 connections on LinkedIn. He could certainly benefit from it.
