template: The &#8220;Do&#8217;s&#8221; and &#8220;Don&#8217;t&#8217;s&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Let&#8217;s break down some best practices, plus things to avoid when creating a LinkedIn message template for your connection requests.<\/p>\n<h3>5 LinkedIn connection request messages that won&#8217;t get results<\/h3>\n<p>Before we explore the components of a strong LinkedIn message template for your connection requests, let&#8217;s identify some of the red flags to avoid.<\/p>\n<h4>1. Using a fake profile<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/linkedin-connection-request-message-template-with-phantombuster-23.webp\" alt=\"linkedin-connection-request-message-template-with-phantombuster\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This message is from a fake profile with a cartoon profile photo and nothing on their LinkedIn page. This generates ZERO trust and will get ZERO answers. Don&#8217;t waste your time building a strategy with fake profiles.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Not saying anything<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/linkedin-connection-request-message-template-with-phantombuster-24.webp\" alt=\"linkedin-connection-request-message-template-with-phantombuster\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We all have busy lives and a limited amount of willpower. This is a high investment (in terms of time), low reward (finding out what this person wants) deal. The recipient will take the easy road and simply dismiss it.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Selling right off the bat<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/linkedin-connection-request-message-template-with-phantombuster-25.webp\" alt=\"linkedin-connection-request-message-template-with-phantombuster\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Well, at least there&#8217;s a &#8220;hello&#8221; but avoid selling your product straight away. In this case, we don&#8217;t work with this medium especially, not &#8220;motion design&#8221; ones, but this LinkedIn user is already sharing a quote&#8230;<\/p>\n<h4>4. Overly-familiar messages<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/linkedin-connection-request-message-template-with-phantombuster-26.webp\" alt=\"linkedin-connection-request-message-template-with-phantombuster\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Love can happen at work, sure. But using work as an excuse to send messages with smiley faces at 11 PM to a sales rep doesn&#8217;t necessarily deliver a professional impression.<\/p>\n<h4>5. Me, me, me!<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/linkedin-connection-request-message-template-with-phantombuster-27.webp\" alt=\"linkedin-connection-request-message-template-with-phantombuster\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Self-centered messaging won&#8217;t earn you many favors. Pronouns like &#8220;me&#8221;, &#8220;we&#8221;, &#8220;us&#8221; are interesting to you, but not to your prospects. Remember, you should solve their problems, not your own.<\/p>\n<h3>The traits of a good LinkedIn connection message<\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;ve covered the bad stuff\u2014now, on a happier note, let&#8217;s explore the components of a strong LinkedIn message template for your connection requests.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll show you some examples, but first, let&#8217;s talk about the common traits of a good connection request message.<\/p>\n<h4>1. Keep it brief and concise<\/h4>\n<p>You have 10 seconds (often less) of attention at your disposal. Each word counts. At the end of each sentence, the recipient will decide whether to keep reading.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t blabber around. For example, don&#8217;t duplicate content that&#8217;s already obvious. Saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m John Doe, from ACME Corp,&#8221; isn&#8217;t helpful when people can already see that in your sender information from their inbox. Be different.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Make a reference to common interests<\/h4>\n<p>A common trait is the ONLY way to start a discussion. What do you have in common? You&#8217;re in the same solar system. Now, let&#8217;s see how much more precise we can be: schools, industry, members of similar groups, connections in common, event attendees, political views, appreciation of something.<\/p>\n<p>Picking one is good; picking one that other salespeople have not already picked is better; and picking multiple references is even better again.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Create a shared vision<\/h4>\n<p>Don&#8217;t be overly focused on you, and don&#8217;t make it exclusively about them. &#8220;Me, me, me&#8221; is bad. And speaking <i>only<\/i> about them shows that you have less tact. This conversation is here to build an &#8220;us&#8221;. Focus on how you can work with the recipient to achieve something mutually beneficial for you both.<\/p>\n<h4>4. Include a call to action (CTA)<\/h4>\n<p>Are you aiming for a &#8220;Yes\/No&#8221; answer? Or some information? In that case, what information and purpose will it have in your second message? Or any action? And why? The art of prospection messages is to have the whole flowchart in your mind while making it appear like each interaction is unique.<\/p>\n<h4>5. Share your personality<\/h4>\n<p>Call it as you wish: &#8220;soul&#8221;, &#8220;vibe&#8221;, &#8220;character&#8221;, &#8220;personality&#8221;. Stand out, be unconventional, be memorable. Don&#8217;t be afraid of rejection; be afraid of being invisible.<\/p>\n<h2>Templates for LinkedIn messages that work<\/h2>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s explore how to create the perfect LinkedIn message template for your connection requests, using these examples for inspiration.<\/p>\n<h3>Referencing a previous positive interaction<\/h3>\n<p>This one is great because it says, &#8220;You already like what I do&#8221;, making it much easier for us to comply. The &#8220;like\/share&#8221; inquiry makes us want to thank him for sharing more.<\/p>\n<h3>Referencing a school in common<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/linkedin-connection-request-message-template-with-phantombuster-29.webp\" alt=\"linkedin-connection-request-message-template-with-phantombuster\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This one is great because it uses multiple levers of influence in a limited amount of characters:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Commonalities:<\/b> Of course, because we did the same coding boot camp, Le Wagon.<\/li>\n<li><b>Scarcity:<\/b> Using language like &#8220;3 seats left&#8221;, and &#8220;\u20ac400&#8221; instead of &#8220;\u20ac1990.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><b>Urgency:<\/b> The message was sent 1 week before the boot camp would start.<\/li>\n<li><b>Social proof:<\/b> &#8220;I was part of batch #1&#8221;; this signals authority and expertise.<\/li>\n<li><b>Authenticity:<\/b> The typos make it feel more like a <i>real<\/i> message.<\/li>\n<li><b>Clear CTA:<\/b> &#8220;Are u IN?&#8221; We understand what he wants us to do.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Referencing an influencer you both like<\/h3>\n<p>Sharing things in common is a great way to set the tone for future conversations and establish a rapport with your audience.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phantombuster.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/linkedin-connection-request-message-template-with-phantombuster-30.webp\" alt=\"linkedin-connection-request-message-template-with-phantombuster\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>A little bit of flattery goes a long way<\/h3>\n<p>Tell people how amazing they are and how you love what they do.
