Totally useless requests of welcoming new people and a waste of your and my time

Several months ago I stopped asking the community to welcome people who haven't filled in their profiles.

Just a few of my own results

It's a totally waste of time to ask people to welcome new members who look like this

Please wait until they have filled in their profiles,

then ASK them if they WANT to be introduced!

If they agree, then write a blog.

I am not following BLACK PUPPETS (unless they are my own referrals)


I get multiple requests a day, please stop wasting other peoples time, and wait until your referral has gotten a face, or at least showed some kind of activity.

I am sorry to say this, but you are pulling a dead horse.

I agree. I get more and more notifications everyday asking to welcome new members.

So do I, let's make an agreement for only introduce the profiled ones:)

Good point Loes,I heard this before and am guilty again.I'll try to do better this time.

Hope from now on, everyone who signs up under you, will fill in all details directly ;)

I will pass the word:)

My sponsor never did and it is ok. I am not shy so I was fine.

2

Myne neither and I still have gained some followers ;)

1

Thank you for voicing it out loud.....when I get these, I have tried to remind them to complete their profile and a welcome....you are absolutely right on; a big expenditure of time and effort to be sure.

3

1 out of 8 is giving WA a chance, so 7 are quite useless

1

That never occurred to me but i think you are absolutely correct...Thanks Loes for saving us all a bit of time!

2

I was never introduced, and somehow I have attracked quite some followers

I see this subject coming up quite regularly.
Aside from the reality of statistics, if my sponsor had asked everyone to welcome me when I joined, and if you all followed up, I would have felt extremely bombarded!! I would have ran away fast! I wouldn't be here now. That is for sure.

My sponsor didn't ask it too, I ask the people if they want to be introduced nowadays, some say yes, some say no

Totally agree:-)

Thanks Gordon

BTW is that a dutch saying about the horse:-)

2

Yes, (trekken aan een dood paard) pulling a dead horse = it is a hopeless case, I think you call it flogging a dead horse??

He would have done had he been playing for the manager we got now!!

1

Yes thats right, but means the same thing

Ruud must have been asked that a few times Gordon!!

Why the long face Ruud??

Hahaha

Good grief Loes, lots of double vowels in there, aa,ee,oo,aa...sounds like a trip to the dentist...hahahaha

1

Yeah:) Great language Mark

1

Must agree with you Loes, I'm new here but I wanted to tell others a bit about me as soon as possible!

3

I read your profile, did you really flushed your job Matteo?

I really told my boss, yes, I'm finishing a project that will go on for another 2-3 months. After that I'll concentrate only on my IM plan

2

allrighty!

Makes complete and utter sense to me

Thanks Paul

Thank you!!!! I have thought about this several times and stopped checking out those messages, it is just irritating to have those posts fill up my mail feed.

2

It's quite useless if the new member doesn't show any activity
