What is the impact of adding a work or personal account?
Your network intelligence is going to be at its peak if you connect both your work and personal email accounts.
- On average, connecting a personal email will add 7 years of history and 123 strong & familiar relationships.
- Connecting a work email will add 2.5 years of history and 128 strong & familiar relationships.
- The total number of contacts including weak connections is roughly 5,867.
- Each year you keep a connected account you should expect to see your contacts grow by 15%.
Today we support Gmail, Outlook, and Hotmail with other connectors on the roadmap. When you connect multiple accounts, Connect The Dots automatically de-duplicates contacts and provides you with a unified view of all your relationships and relationship history.
A big benefit of connecting your personal email account is that it’s free forever – you’ll never lose access to valuable contacts again. If you have both a work and personal account connected and you change companies, you'll still be able to login with your personal email. While your account access from your previous employer will likely be turned off, you will retain a history of the contacts and companies where you were engaged. You won't be able to see the bodies of emails or sensitive data - however. Companies who are using Enterprise Edition can set custom data retention policies, but the default is to allow you to build your network while you're an employee. The benefit to your employer is that this leads to a more vibrant and active alumni network.
