Write LinkedIn Post-Connect First Message (Chain Step 1)

Draft the first message to send within 24 hours of a LinkedIn connection, planting a seed of interest without pitching.

About this prompt

This prompt is Step 1 of a 3-part LinkedIn messaging chain for SDRs, BDRs, and AEs. It generates the first message to send to [PROSPECT NAME] within 24 hours of connecting, referencing something real from their profile and ending with an open-ended question. Use it when you've just connected with a cold prospect and want to open a conversation without going straight to a pitch.The first message after a LinkedIn connection is a high-stakes moment — it sets the tone for the entire relationship and is the most likely touch to get a reply. This prompt generates a sub-150-word opening message for [PROSPECT NAME], a [JOB TITLE] at [COMPANY] in [INDUSTRY], that thanks them for connecting without formality, references one genuine detail from their profile or activity, and surfaces [TOPIC/CHALLENGE YOU SOLVE] as a relevant theme rather than a sales pitch. It ends with an open-ended question that invites a real reply. This is Step 1 of a three-part chain — use Step 2 (0057) if you get no response after a week, and Step 3 (0058) as the graceful exit after two ignored messages. For best results, send this message within 12 to 24 hours of connecting while you're still in the prospect's recent notification feed.
