My Main Takeaways

Here again, we hear how Karen has a clear idea of WHO she is talking to and trying to reach. 

LinkedIn is not magic, but it helps you build relationships. Relationships can be magic

Don't just contact people and connect to make your numbers grow. You should have a plan. Start a conversation. 

Do your homework and know who you are contacting so that first impression is a little warmer.
