Why this prompt works

Generic connection requests get ignored or declined. This prompt personalizes the note with a specific reason and keeps it pitch-free, which dramatically raises acceptance and opens the door to a real conversation later.

How to customize it

  • Reference something specific from their profile or work.
  • Don't pitch in the first message; build rapport first.
  • Stay under the 300-character limit.

Tip: replace the parts in [square brackets] with your own details before you send. The more specific you are β€” audience, tone, goal, constraints β€” the better the AI output.
