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
