Do you always put a message when sending a LinkedIn connection?
I’ve tested both personally. And based off my small sample sizes, I’ve had much more success getting in front of people by NOT putting a connection message.
Here’s my suspicion — most of the people I connect with that DO put a message are often spammers or salespeople (or both!). So, people are beginning to train not to accept people who leave templated messages.
Whereas putting no message (and just a connection request) is ambiguous. You don’t know what the person wants, so it peaks your curiosity more-so than a “Hey, I’d love to connect for XYZ!”
What do you think?
