Imagine if you really connected with all your Connections.

If you liked everything you Liked, loved everything you Loved.

I don’t know about you, but it seems borderline impossible to me. (And I’m not even a very active social media-er. I log into Facebook once every 2-6 months, Instagram once every year?)

That said, today I had a call with Maya Meyouhas, a marketing consultant out of Montreal.

Why?

Because Maya posted about the virtues of being/hiring a generalist a few weeks back on LinkedIn, and I Liked it. (And liked it.)

In fact, it made me think, “We should Connect; we generalists ought to stick together.”

And/But, she had decided, some time back, not to connect with anyone new until after she’d had (at least) a call with them. So, I sent my connection request, and she sent back a link to her scheduler.

Brilliant.

Perhaps a little too time-consuming for most, but a brilliant idea, nonetheless.

I booked, we chatted, and now—now that she actually knows me (at least a bit)—we are connected.

What do you think? Would you do this? Does it give you any ideas?

Connection over collection,
James
