Thesis & Presentation

What Defines Network Size: LinkedIn, Personal Contacts, or Email Contacts?

I know you like to see specifics with the thesis. What defines a network size? Is it LinkedIn connections? Personal contacts? Email contacts? I see people saying things like ’leveraging our network of 600+ connections”. Curious what encompasses that number? Thanks!

Just because people are saying stuff like this, it doesn’t mean it’s good. In fact, it isn’t, especially relating to your thesis. If you are going to do a network pitch, position it around the thesis. Having 50 advisors that are on thesis is much better then 500 ‘connections’
