LinkedIn Connection Request (200 Rule, Context-First)

A context-first LinkedIn connection request framework for high-volume warm outbound to active decision-makers without spammy pitch language.

Request Note Template

Hi [Name] — your post on [specific topic] stood out, especially [specific point]. Would love to connect.

What Works (from Source)

  • Aim for active humans (posted in the last 30 days)
  • Lead with context, not a pitch
  • Layer channels only after first-party engagement signals

What Doesn’t Work

  • Opening with a deck or sales pitch
  • Sending generic connection notes with no relevance signal
  • Treating every acceptance as an immediate discovery call ask
