When sending connection requests, personalization is key.
When sending connection requests, personalization is key. Avoid using the default message. Instead, take a moment to write a brief, personalized note explaining why you’d like to connect. Mention commonalities, such as shared connections, alma maters, or professional interests. This shows that you’re genuinely interested in the person and not just increasing your connection count. Personalized requests are more likely to be accepted and pave the way for meaningful interactions.
