Remember that list you put together in Tip 4 of the people who you don’t know personally but would like to meet?  We are about to put that list into action.  “Introductions” on Linkedin let you indirectly contact Linkedin members who are two or three degrees away from you through your first degree contracts.  Basically, you virtually ask your contacts who you know, like and trust to provide an “Introduction” on your behalf.
