I asked a question on LinkedIn. Miles Austin was the twelfth person to answer the question. You can read the question, all the answers (including Miles') and see his profile here. I'm not only gonna vote his answer the best answer for this question, but I may vote it the best answer that I've ever seen on LinkedIn, period.

He gave me meat!

He didn't self-promote!

He invited our virtual contact to become a real relationship with his private note below.

Private Note:
Rick, I would welcome you following me if interested at @milesaustin. I have provided answers that have proven beneficial to me and to my business clients. If you have questions on any of the suggestions or would like to talk in more detail about additional ways to incorporate Twitter into your business activity, please feel free to contact me.

Stop by my blog, and leave a comment or two to let people know that you visited, also providing additional exposure for you and your work.

Respectfully,

Miles Austin

He included his direct phone number and email address.

It doesn't get better than that!

We just had a REAL telephone conversation. We have huge synergy and I expect that we'll talk again shortly.

So, have you turned anything virtual into real, today?
