So I am doing some interviews (to establish credibility) using linkedin as a mining tool.

Join groups - post a request for interviews and then...

Obviously I want them on skype but how to manage the connections etc

Is it just as simple as a spreadsheet with columns

Messaged/added on LI/Got direct email/got skype/ Interview done.

I have some template messages (and reminders) for each stage but am I missing something?
