The title of this post is one of the most searched questions about LinkedIn. If you are looking for a “silver bullet,” hack, or one-size-fits-all magic fix, you will be disappointed everywhere you go. In the first couple pages of any search engine, you will find some that promise shortcuts, a list of five steps, or set it and forget it tools to drastically and quickly increase sales, new hires, or connections. But ask yourself, would an increase of 10% in LinkedIn responses genuinely have an impact? Does having 100 more connections allow you to meet your sales or recruitment quota? The answer is probably no.
