One of LinkedIn many fantastic ways of cultivating a relationship with your contacts is that every day you will receive a note that somebody has a birthday,.

From the Notifications area, you will get notified whenever your connections have a birthday. 

BUT PLEASE DO NOT JUST SELECT AND CLICK on the default - "Happy Birthday" as thats an easy cop out

So I send them one of Three types of  happy birthday messages

The first one is a voice message - amazing how everyone responds to a personal voice message

Hiya [name]
just wanting to wish you a happy birthday
have a great day
and party hard!!!

take care now



the second message option is with a link to my free gift”.

This gift could be an E-Book you have written or tips and advice. It is  important that this gift can only be downloaded by visiting your website.

This gives you something free of value to share with them in each message, which they might find useful

A Birthdays Script
