How it works

Describe who you're reaching out to

Enter their role and company type. The more specific you are, the more tailored — and convincing — the message will be.

2

Explain why you're connecting

Are you learning from their experience? Exploring a collaboration? Looking to stay in their field's loop? Be honest — it shows.

3

Get 3 messages to choose from

Direct, warm, and value-first variations — all under 300 characters so they work within LinkedIn's limit. Pick and send.

Why most connection requests get ignored

The average acceptance rate for LinkedIn cold connection requests is around 30%. These principles push it above 60%.

Keep it under 300 characters

LinkedIn limits connection notes to 300 characters. Shorter messages feel more personal and less salesy — the sweet spot is 150–200 characters.

No pitch in the first message

A connection request is not a sales pitch. Mention why you want to connect — not what you want them to buy. Pitching in msg #1 kills acceptance rates.

Mention something specific

Generic: 'I'd love to connect.' Specific: 'Loved your post on PLG strategy — building something similar.' Specificity signals you're a real human, not a bot.

Give a clear reason to accept

Frame it from their perspective: what do they get from accepting? Shared interest, mutual network, industry alignment — make it obvious.
