It’s easy to reach out to members. Once you have added a member to your contacts by using the Add Contact tab (click on My Contacts on the second menu bar at the top of the page):

  1. send the member an email by clicking on the Send Message tab,
  2. save her/him in your favorites folder (click on Favorite tab), and
  3. introduce the member to another one of your contacts.

Once a member becomes one of your contacts, you can see who their contacts are and easily network among them. Up to 10 members can even be designated as “favorites” so you can network even faster.

Invite your peers and colleagues to join in by clicking on My Messages on the second menu bar of the home page. Click on the New Invitation tab and invite as many people as you want to join. In the invitation message box you can even direct them to an article, community, or forum.

You can even search all members from one company, or by other fields such as city, with just a click.

Find out what organizations and networks a member belongs to, what expertise the member has, the articles and blogs he or she has posted, and review the member’s contact information such as telephone number, email, and business information by clicking on the member’s name or the Contact Data tab.

Invite the member to join your contacts by using the My Message menu (second bar at the top of the page). Or send a message to a contact, or introduce members to each other by clicking on the appropriate link.


Track Your Invitations and Contacts
