LinkedIn Connection Manager
Strategic networking made simple
by Dr. Cheri Seagraves
Build Your Network Strategically
LinkedIn allows 100 connection requests per week. Used intentionally, these connections become valuable professional relationships, collaboration opportunities, and pathways to meaningful work. This tool helps you manage that process systematically: generate personalized messages, track responses, and build relationship history with each connection.
