Use this for the first step of LinkedIn outreach. The note has one job: get accepted by giving a genuine reason to connect. Selling comes later, and only if the conversation earns it.
Inputs
- The prospect: name, role, company, recent activity.
- The reason to connect: shared topic, trigger, event, community, mutual connection, their content.
- Who you are, in a few words.
The play
1. Find the reason
| Reason | Strength | Note pattern |
|---|---|---|
| Referral from a mutual connection | Strongest | "Sam suggested we connect about…" (only if true) |
| They engaged with your content | Strong | "Thanks for your comment on…" |
| Same event or community | Strong | "Saw you’re at <event> next week too…" |
| Their content | Strong | "Your post on <specific point>…" |
| Role or industry peer | Medium | "I work with a lot of <role>s in <industry>…" |
| Trigger (new role, hiring) | Medium | "Congrats on <role>, <specific note>" |
2. Write the note
- Under 200 characters; shorter is usually better. Free accounts may have a lower limit and a monthly cap on notes, so check yours.
- One reason, one sentence about it, no ask beyond the connection.
- No links, no product, no "I’d love to tell you about".
3. Decide whether to send a note at all
For senior executives with no real hook, and for people who post a lot and connect openly, a blank request often performs as well or better. Test both on 100+ requests before deciding.
4. Plan the first message after acceptance
Write it now, so acceptance leads into a conversation within 1-3 days while you are still recognised.
Examples
- Content: "Your post on why SDR ramp is a data problem made me rethink our onboarding. Would be good to connect."
- Event: "See you’re at the RevOps summit next week, I’ll be there too. Happy to connect beforehand."
- Peer: "I spend most of my week with heads of ops at multi-site restaurant groups. Would be good to have you in my network."
- New role: "Congrats on the move to Fabrikam. Building ops from scratch at that stage is a fun problem."
What good looks like
- Acceptance rate of 30-50% on a targeted list. Under 20% means the targeting or the note is wrong.
- Nothing in the note could be called a pitch.
- The common mistake is the "pitch in the invite": a note that ends in "would love to show you how we help companies like yours".
Rules
- MUST stay under the character limit of the user’s account.
- MUST use a real reason; never invent a mutual connection, event or shared interest.
- NEVER pitch or include links in a connection note.
- NEVER exceed safe daily invitation volumes (typically 15-25 per day per account).
Example prompts
- "Write connection notes for these 25 VPs of Sales. Most have posted about hiring."
- "My acceptance rate is 12%. Rewrite my note."
- "Write notes for people attending the same conference as me."
