My personal memory chips get overloaded sometimes.
- How did we meet?
- Reminder to self: contact Mary next month about that educational session we may give together.
- When did I last share an article or message with her on LinkedIn?
- Which small groups of “tagged” connections did I place her in?
These details are easy to forget and sometimes important to remember.
Luckily, LinkedIn makes it easy to keep details on a relationship straight.
If you look at the profile of any 1st level connection, you will see a tab called Relationship.
There are sub-tabs called Note, Reminder, How you met, Tag.
Using one of my connections as an example, here is an excerpt of the details I keep on her so I can access the details anytime I need to jog my memory. (Click the graphic to enlarge it and see it better.)
Only I can see it. She cannot.
Previously I may have blogged on this. I just can’t remember.
But it’s worth repeating.
