The connection request is a critical in the LinkedIn outreach game!

It sets the tone for your entire campaign.

With HeyReach, you have the flexibility to create multiple variations of your connection request message.

Here is a successful connection request message example

"Hi, {FIRST_NAME}, how is life at {COMPANY}? I'm visiting {LOCATION} this summer. Care to share some tips about your local places to visit?

Best, {FIRST_NAME}."

HeyReach populates the variables with the names from your prospect's list, resulting in personalized messages like,

"Hey John, how is life at Amazon? I'm visiting San Francisco this summer. Care to share some tips about your local places to visit?

Best, Paul."

You can also use Chat GPT to generate messages. Choose the desired tone of voice, such as friendly, genuine, witty, straightforward, or formal. Define the message goal, explain why you want to connect with the person, and indicate if you want to include emojis. Generate a preview to see the message.

Note that the message goal should clarify the purpose of the connection request for Chat GPT. The AI will analyze the prospect's profile and create a customized and personalized message.

You also have the option to send blank connection requests without any text. Pay careful attention to crafting your connection requests to optimize your outreach efforts.

We highly recommend creating a fallback message for cases when your prospect list doesn't have the necessary company or location information. This fallback message will be sent whenever the conditions specified in your messages cannot be fulfilled. It's important to have this fallback message in place to ensure a consistent and professional approach to your outreach.

Additionally, HeyReach allows you to set a withdrawal feature for connection requests. This is a safety measure to prevent having too many pending connection requests in the background. Withdrawing connection requests helps maintain the safety and integrity of your LinkedIn account.

Make sure to use the Message Variations and Message Variables features effectively, along with the fallback message and connection request withdrawal, to optimize your outreach strategy and achieve your desired results.
