			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>People have also been talking about <a href="http://www.linkedin.com" title="LinkedIn" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> and it has helped them, and/or if they have found challenges with it. I was inspired by Andy Sernovitz&#8217;s <a href="http://www.damniwish.com/2007/08/connect-to-me-o.html" title="Connect to me on Facebook and LinkedIn">Blog Post</a> to connect to him on LinkedIn and Facebook.</p>

	<p>I decided to take this to the &#8220;next steph&#8221; and put an &#8220;old school spin&#8221;  to this. I recently had reached out to my existing networks though listserves,  etc&#8230; and offered a complementary 1/2 hour consultation to the 99th person to connect to me via LinkedIn.</p>

	<p>The results, I was able to reconnect with people I haven&#8217;t had contact with in ages and the winner is excited about their consultation. This proves that one needs to approach and view networking in a different way  to stand out and make connections.</p>
