Write a LinkedIn Connection Request in Jobs Style

Generate a LinkedIn connection request using Jobs-style directness — specific, brief, and impossible to ignore.

About this prompt

This prompt creates a LinkedIn connection request using Steve Jobs' communication principles — no flattery, no generic 'I'd love to connect,' just one specific reason why this specific person and no other. Use it when your standard connection requests are going unanswered.Generic LinkedIn connection requests fail for the same reason generic cold emails fail: they make the recipient feel like one of many rather than specifically chosen. A Jobs-style connection request applies the same principle — one sentence on why you're reaching out to this specific person, one sentence on what you'd like to explore, and nothing else. No flattery, no excessive qualification, no apology for taking their time. Fill in the prospect's name and title, your specific reason for reaching out, and what you'd like to discuss for a request that treats the recipient as an intelligent peer rather than a target. Keep it under 50 words — the brevity itself signals confidence.
