Want to increase your invitation acceptance and message response rate on LinkedIn? Make your point, and make your point quick.
Our invitation messages are typically less than 10 words. Rely on your profile heading and a high-quality headshot to do the talking for you.
We often send messages like, “Hi {{First Name}}, looking forward to connecting.” That’s it.?
In our experience, invitation messages like these typically receive an acceptance rate of 25-30%.
No matter what industry you’re in, being brief will boost your chances of being listened to. It’s just a part of being in today’s digital age where people adapted to reading at a rapid speed and expect immediate answers.
