Having a positive rapport will further strengthen the foundation of your LinkedIn connections. The sense of camaraderie you have when you meet someone that not only likes you but you're someone they can count on is rewarding.
By inviting your connections to meet you offline, whether it’s buying them a cup of coffee or dinner or by video chat or by phone, they’ll realize your attributes as a primary collaborator, expert and reliable brand and want to do business with you and send referrals your way.
