LinkedIn message to someone who already knows you
Reconnect without the awkward 'long time no see', and make one clear ask.
Former colleagues, clients, people who commented on your posts.linkedinoutreachnetwork
Write a LinkedIn message to someone I already know. Who they are and how we know each other: <specific: worked together at X in 2022 / they commented on my post about Y> What they're doing now (from their profile): <paste> What I'm doing now: <one sentence> What I want: <intro to someone / feedback / a call / them as a client> Write 3 versions, each under 80 words: 1. Memory first: open with the specific shared context, then the ask. 2. Their news first: open with something from their current work, then connect to the ask. 3. Direct: skip the warm-up, respectful, one ask. Rules: no "long time no see", no "I hope you're doing well", no fake compliments. The ask must be specific and easy to decline. If I'm asking for an intro, include the one-paragraph blurb they could forward, so they don't have to write anything.
Replace every <placeholder> with your own details before you send it.
How to use it
- 1Say how you actually know them. Specific memory beats generic warmth.
- 2One ask. If you want two things, this is two messages a month apart.
- 3Send the shortest version first. You can always add context if they reply.
