1. Keep it Personal (but Not Creepy)
- Go beyond a generic "Hi [Name]".
- Mention a mutual connection (if you have one) or reference a recent company achievement to show you've done your research.
- Example: "Hi [Name], I came across your profile and noticed your recent success with [mention achievement]. Congratulations!"
2. Briefly Introduce Yourself and Your Company:
- State your name, title, and company in a concise sentence.
- Avoid jargon or overly promotional language at this stage.
3. Tailor it to Their Industry:
- Briefly acknowledge their industry and its specific challenges.
- This shows you understand their world and positions your message as relevant.
Example: "As someone working in the [Industry] space, I understand the challenges of [mention common pain point]."
4. Spark Curiosity (Optional):
- If relevant, consider posing a thought-provoking question related to their industry or pain point.
- This can pique their interest and encourage them to continue reading.
5. Avoid Gimmicks and False Familiarity:
- Skip the cheesy jokes or overly casual greetings.
- Maintain a professional tone while still being friendly and approachable.
