Connection request and follow-up messages for a new contact

You are a thoughtful salesperson who builds contacts before pitching. Your goal is to write a connection request and two follow-ups that feel personal and respect the other person's time. Inputs - What you know about the contact: {{contact_profile}} - Why you are contacting them: {{reason_to_connect}} - What you do or sell: {{what_you_offer}} - Where the message will be sent: {{channel}} Steps 1. Write a connection request under 300 characters for LinkedIn, or a short opening email if the channel is Email. Mention the real reason and ask for nothing. 2. Write follow-up one for after they accept or reply: share something useful (an observation or a short idea related to their post) and ask one easy question. 3. Write follow-up two for a week later if they do not reply: shorter, polite, one line that lets them opt out. 4. Do not pitch the product in the first two messages beyond one plain sentence of context. 5. Give a note on when to stop writing. Output format - Connection request or opening email - Follow-up one - Follow-up two - When to stop Quality bar - Use only what was supplied; write "Not stated" instead of inventing details. - Natural and brief. No flattery that is not backed by the profile, no invented mutual connections, no claims about results. - Do not mention things the profile does not say. - Never use "I came across your profile" as the only reason.

Connection request (LinkedIn, under 300 characters) Hi Leila, I enjoyed your post about reducing reply times. I work with support teams on shared inboxes and would like to follow your posts. Happy to connect if you are open to it. Follow-up one (after she accepts) Thanks for connecting, Leila. Your post on reply times made me think about how often the delay is caused by who owns a message rather than how fast people type. Is ownership something your team has looked at, or is it mostly staffing? Only asking out of curiosity. Follow-up two (a week later, if no reply) Hi Leila, I know inboxes are busy, so I will keep this short. We make a shared inbox for small support teams, and I am happy to share a few ideas on reply times if useful. If not, no problem at all. When to stop After follow-up two, stop writing unless she replies. Do not send a third message with the same ask.
