In this brief YouTube tip, the speaker highlights LinkedIn's 'similar connections' feature, describing it as an incredibly important but underrated tool. He shares a personal anecdote from a speaker dinner where he instantly connected with someone he didn't know, thanks to a large number of shared connections. He advises viewers to review similar connections before reaching out to someone on LinkedIn, positioning the feature as a key step for effective networking.

Next thing, everybody know the similar connections feature on LinkedIn? Incredibly important. I went to dinner last night, I threw a speaker dinner last night for some speakers, and there was one individual at the dinner, I did not know her, but we had a ton of similar connections, and we hit it off immediately. It's such an underrated feature, so make sure you look at that before you message somebody.
