5 Personalized LinkedIn Connection Invitation Messages That Work
Crafting a LinkedIn connection message that actually leads to a conversation is not that hard once you discover an approach that works. But what is working now? 🤔
With LinkedIn limiting the number of connection invitations you can send in a week (ever hit that limit?) every single connection invitation counts!
LinkedIn connection invitations actually COST something to the sender.
They're no longer unlimited and abundant.
And that is good news!
As a recipient of an inbound connection invitation, you can now count yourself a bit more "special" -- they're using one of theirs on you this week. 🤔
For those of us doing the sending, it can be tricky to figure out exactly what to say.
We don't want to sound spammy, pushy, or god-awful sales-y.
We all want to start off the RIGHT way.
In this episode of Mondays with Mindi, we get into what's working now with LinkedIn connection messages... and what's NOT!
I share with you my step-by-step formula to craft your invitations, show you some examples, and give you benchmarks to tell you IF your connection acceptance rate is good.
