" I often get LinkedIn requests (with no note) from people I don&amp;#039;t know in my industry. Should I accept to expand my network, or is it OK to &amp;#039;Ignore&amp;#039; them? It&amp;#039;s your call. You never know when a connection might come in handy, but contact info alone isn&amp;#039;t that useful. It makes more sense to accept the request if you know someone in common or have a relationship offline. (That&amp;#039;s why it&amp;#039;s best to include a note when you connect with anyone you don&amp;#039;t know.) Keep in mind that it&amp;#039;s always a good idea to know the people in your network so you can vouch for them if another contact asks. TELL US: Do you agree with Peggy?
