English phrase: "Help us connect with you"
Proposed Spanish phrase: "Ayudenos a ligar con usted"
Context: Proposed Electric company brochure in Spanish -- focus on communication with customers. I would like to know if "ligar" in Spanish has a connotation with "switching on a light" or some other similar electrical "connection." Or if it might mean something really, really bad. :) Thank you for your help and suggestions!

Ayúdenos a conectarnos (con usted/nuestros clientes)
Si bien "conectar" no tiene relación con "encender" una luz, si se relaciona con conexiones eléctricas. Puede ser una opción

Ayúdenos a mejorar nuestra conexión/nuestas conexiones con usted
Another option might be "Ayúdenos a estar más "conectados" con usted"
As for "ligar," this can also mean "pick-up" (as in a bar). :-)

Ayudenos hacer la conexion con uds.
Translated: Help us connect with you.
A more polite way to phrase this thought could be: "Ud. nos puede ayudar con su conexion." ...You can help us with your connection.
This would use the power of suggestion rather than a direct command.
The word "ligar" is better translated as "mix", as in a social mixer. It could also indicate becoming "involved" with another party.

Thanks, Marcelo, for the warning about "ligar" -- it would be like saying in English, "help us to hook up with you." ;)
