There is no impact on our level 2 contacts. Opening your address book to your contacts means giving all your contacts the opportunity to come and do research in our address book. In this case, our address books are not only leafable page by page, but we also know who our new connections are. Illustrations: you are connected to a former colleague who has become a competitor, if your notebook is open, he can have an insight into your commercial efforts. You are connected with colleagues or collaborators and your notebook is open, they can know that you have just connected to a hunter. But, LinkedIn allows you to be even more intrusive. LinkedIn indeed offers a tool for searching the networks of its contacts who have their address book open.
Example : I am looking in the address book of one of my relations who are his contacts at BNP: LinkedIn Email Data search address book You can even do more complex searches. Here, what are his marketing contacts at BNP (adding “AND” between “BNP” and “marketing”): LinkedIn advanced search address book On the other hand, when the address book is closed, we only see common contacts: LinkedIn closed notebook Closing your network does not mean not playing the LinkedIn game, it is simply protecting yourself and preventing your contacts from searching your address book. There is no right or wrong choice. It all depends on how you created your network. If you think you have mastered it and have absolute confidence in all your contacts, you can leave it open.
If you are in transition, outplacement professionals recommend leaving it open. If you have had a more open approach in building your network, it is recommended to protect yourself and close it. Closing your network does not mean not playing the game. My personal network is closed. My LinkedIn contacts cannot find in my address book who my contacts are in a particular company or in a particular sector or profession. On the other hand, when one of my contacts is on the profile of one of my connections, he knows that I am a mutual contact and that I can recommend him. Many salespeople who have a good grasp of this notion of network opening/closing connect to their colleagues, banking on the fact that they do not know the tool as well as they do and thus have a view of the relationship networks and on their commercial approaches (via new relationships). Linkedin new relationships As a precaution, avoid connecting too quickly to your new prospects.
