About this prompt
This prompt helps SDRs and AEs craft a LinkedIn connection request that gets accepted without reading as a sales pitch. Use it before the first InMail or DM — a personalized connection note significantly improves acceptance rates over a blank request.A blank connection request to a stranger has low acceptance rates. A 300-character note that references something specific — their content, a shared context, or a company event — signals that the request is intentional, not spray-and-pray. This prompt generates a note for NAME, TITLE at COMPANY that stays within LinkedIn's 300-character hard limit, references genuine account context, and contains no product pitch. It's not the place to introduce your solution — that comes after they accept. Use this as the first step in a LinkedIn outreach sequence before sending DMs or InMails; if you've already connected and want to initiate a conversation, use the DM prompt instead. Tip: the more specific the context you feed in — a post they wrote, a conference they spoke at, a mutual connection — the higher the acceptance rate.
