Deleting Contacts on LinkedIn

What speaks against deleting contacts as long as you haven't reached the LinkedIn limit of 30,000 contacts.

  1. Extended Network Access: First-degree contacts open doors to second and third-degree contacts. This means your network continuously expands, giving you visibility to and access to a larger number of people within your target audience. This extended access is particularly valuable for finding and establishing new business relationships.

  2. Trust Enhancement: Each of your contacts is also a follower, contributing to the publicly visible follower count on your profile. A high number of followers can strengthen the trust of potential new contacts, as it indicates your relevance and credibility in your field.

  3. Market Reach and Visibility: Every contact in your network can see your posts, updates, and articles, increasing your reach on the platform. Sharing valuable content can lead to your contacts sharing it within their network, further boosting your visibility and the influence of your brand.

  4. Potential for Recommendations: Maintaining a large number of contacts increases the likelihood of receiving recommendations and introductions to potential clients, partners, or employers. These direct recommendations can often be more valuable than any other form of acquisition.

  5. Insights and Trends: A broad network provides insights into industry trends, challenges, and opportunities through the posts and discussions of your contacts. This knowledge can be crucial for adjusting your strategies and staying informed.
