Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best way to start a LinkedIn outreach message?

Start with a specific observation about them or their company, not a generic compliment. Reference their recent post, company news, or a specific challenge in their role. Avoid starting with "I saw your profile" or "Great to connect!" — these signal mass outreach. The best openers show you've done research and have a legitimate reason to reach out.

How long should a LinkedIn connection request message be?

Keep connection request notes under 300 characters (LinkedIn's limit). For InMail and DMs, aim for 300-500 characters for best response rates. Busy professionals scan messages in seconds — if it looks like a wall of text, they'll skip it. One short paragraph is ideal.

Should I pitch my product in the first LinkedIn message?

No! Lead with value, not a sales pitch. The first message should focus on starting a conversation, offering something useful, or finding common ground. Save the pitch for later after you've established rapport. Messages that pitch immediately have 50-70% lower response rates than value-first approaches.

How many follow-up messages should I send on LinkedIn?

Send 2-3 follow-ups spaced 3-4 days apart before giving up. Many decision-makers miss the first message. Follow-ups should add new value or take a different angle, not just say "bumping this up." A good sequence: 1) Initial outreach, 2) Share relevant content, 3) Different angle, 4) "Breaking up" message. Persistence works when done respectfully.
