I've received well over 3-5 invitations such as this, worded almost precisely the same manner. The senders have served surprise...
Like me, have you received invitations like these?

I've received well over 35 invitations such as this, phrased almost exactly the same manner. Visiting TM possibly provides cautions you can give to your co-worker. The senders have acted offended and astonished that I didn't jump to take advantage of this request.
Let's go through the problems in this request from a marketing standpoint.
* Almost all of the invitations I received were from people whose names I didn't understand. Why would I wish to be part of their network? The request does not say how I would take advantage of their network and who they're, who they've use of.
* What is Linked-in, how does it work and what are the advantages of using it? No body has yet explained this clearly in their invitation. You can not expect that some one receiving this invitation knows what you are asking them to participate or how it would be advantageous to them. It'd be useful to have a paragraph or two describing how it works and mentioning a certain result the individual behind the invitation loved from membership. It might be that people believe that since 'basic account is free,' the typical recipient with this request will go-ahead and join. But even if it does not charge money, joining would devote some time. You still need to 'sell' people on having a free activity, specially with respect to a task or business which may be new to them.
* No one got some time to head off possible misunderstandings or objections to this membership. As I am concerned that joining would open me up to a lot of mail and phone calls that would spend my time and where I would have no interest, a non-member of Linked In. Again, you can't assume that something free is thereby enticing; you need to imagine why someone could have doubts or dismiss the idea and address those arguments.
* Using a refined request that is almost the same as everybody else's does not create a great effect. Even though the text provided by Linked-in were effective, which it is not, you had desire to give it your own personal stamp.
Besides being irritated that they're apparently encouraging visitors to send invitations that make little sense, I've nothing against Linked In. Perhaps it is a good business. My position is that its members need to use common sense and basic marketing principles to encourage busy, suspicious people-to give an opportunity to it..
