LinkedIn Outreach
No-Pitch Connection Request
For the first touch — a connection request note with zero ask beyond connecting.
Template
Hi [name] — [specific reason for reaching out: a shared group, a post they wrote, a mutual connection]. [One sentence on why you'd like to connect — no pitch here.] Would love to connect.
When to use it
Best as the very first message, before any pitch. LinkedIn connection notes have a tight character limit — keep this to 1–2 short sentences and save the actual ask for a follow-up message after they accept.
