Warm, no pitch
Hi [First name], thanks for connecting. No pitch incoming, I promise. I've been following what [their company] is doing around [common ground] and wanted to say it's good to be connected. Hope your week's going well.
Open a conversation
Hi [First name], appreciate the connect. Since we both care about [common ground], I'd genuinely like to hear how you're approaching it at [their company]. No agenda, just curious.
Simple and human
Hi [First name], thanks for accepting. I try to actually say hello rather than connect and disappear, so, hello. Looking forward to following your work on [common ground].
The 'thank you for connecting' message is a small moment with outsized impact. Most people either say nothing or immediately pitch. Doing neither, just a warm, human hello, sets you apart and keeps the door open.
Resist the instant pitch. Connecting and then immediately selling is the fastest way to get muted. Use this message to be a person first. The business conversation, if there is one, comes later and lands better.
Keep it genuine and short. A specific nod to their work, an honest 'good to be connected', and no ask at all is plenty. You are building goodwill, not closing a deal.
Quick tips
- Do not pitch the moment they accept. Be a person first.
- A specific nod to their work beats a generic thanks.
- No ask. This message is for goodwill, not a deal.
