Post-Connection Follow-Up Pitch

For the message sent after a connection request is accepted — the actual ask.

Template

Thanks for connecting, [name]!

[One sentence referencing something specific and recent about them — a post, a role change, a company update.]

[One sentence on what you do and the specific value to them — not a generic pitch.]

[One clear, low-friction ask — e.g. "Open to a quick 15-minute call this week?" or "Mind if I send over a short overview?"]

[Your name]

When to use it

Best sent a day or two after they accept your connection request — going straight for the pitch in the same message as the connection request usually reads as spam.
