Whether on Linkedin or out in the world, showing versus telling has been far more effective for me and fortunately something I picked up on very early. The concept behind #3 has also works best in direct relationships. Helping your customer solve their problems can develop a very long lasting friendship that extends beyound the office! Thanks for the review! Troy Fielding Mr Penoyer:

When I teach networking in person, I highly suggest a person put his contact card (business card) in with the note. I urge them not to think of it as advertising, but a convenience for the person receiving the note. I feel the same way about adding my website link and blog link on LinkedIn -- person doesn't have to go to my can profile -- they can get the real picture faster.
