Abstract
A method for friction reduction during professional network expansion is implemented via a computing system including a processor. The method includes executing, via a network, an enterprise application on a remote computing system operated by a user associated with an enterprise and surfacing a professional networking UI on a display of the remote computing system during execution of the enterprise application. The method includes generating parameters that are representative of a connection between the user and each suggested professional contact based on enterprise-level data corresponding to the user and each suggested professional contact and generating friction-reducing UI elements for each suggested professional contact based on the generated parameters. The method includes receiving, via the professional networking UI, user input including a command to open a contact connection page corresponding to one of the suggested professional contacts and surfacing the corresponding contact connection page including the generated friction-reducing UI elements.
