Getting leads to accept your LinkedIn request
Hi guys,
Anyone have any particular messages when sending a LinkedIn connection request that have worked well in getting leads to accept and connect with you?
I’ve tried sending no message and also with the following messagse
‘ Hi Name, I’m looking to connect with experienced event markets to keep track of new insights and trends. P.S. Have you eaten at (popular restaurant in their area). Great food!’
Both have resulted in a 5% success rate which I believe is very low. Any ideas to push this a little higher?

5% is very low and could trigger spam filters on LinkedIn.
How many connections have you sent to the non message group and how long did you wait before recording a “no connection”?
Around 50 to the non-message group.
With 3 people accepting!
I’m currently sending 20 new LinkedIn requests a day.
I wasn’t aware of the ‘spam’ filter. Should I hold off on this for now?

If you’re not getting a 20-30% connection rate with no message it can only be because of a couple of variables –
– Your profile, image or headline is scaring them from clicking accept
– Your prospects don’t login to LinkedIn reguarly and so aren’t even seeing the requestIf your prospects don’t use the platform, then you should focus on cold email.
Otherwise perhaps a more “professional” photo. Your current photo wouldn’t bother me but perhaps get a shot with a tie on and a bold colour background would be a good thing to experiment with.

20 isn’t an insane amount. If you go to “my network” > “manage” (next to no pending invitations at the top) > “sent” … how many outstanding connection requests are there?
If there are 100’s, then “withdraw” them.
