Crafting High-Converting LinkedIn Messages: Tips and Examples
Now that we’ve covered why LinkedIn is crucial for networking and relationship-building, let's dive into just a few of the strategies for crafting high-converting LinkedIn messages, the rest are available in our FREE LinkedIn Messaging Playbook.
1. Personalisation is Key
Personalised messages are far more effective than generic, one-size-fits-all messages. Take the time to research your prospect’s profile, interests, and recent activity, and tailor your message accordingly.
Here’s an example:
"Hi [Prospect’s Name],
I recently read your article on [Topic] and found it incredibly insightful. As someone who’s passionate about [Shared Interest], I’d love to connect and discuss potential collaboration opportunities."
And another one,
2. Include a Call-to-Action (CTA)
We always go on about using a CTA in your LinkedIn posts and it’s just as important to do the same in your LinkedIn messages.
Ending your message with a clear and compelling CTA that encourages the prospect to take the next step, whether it’s scheduling a call, registering for an event, or downloading a resource.
Example:
"Hi [Prospect’s Name],
I’d love to share more about how [Your Product/Service] can benefit your business. Are you available for a quick call this week?
Thanks,
[Your Name]"
3. Be Clear and Concise
One of the biggest tips that we can give you is to keep it short and sweet. If a prospect sees a message containing a paragraph the likelihood of them ignoring the message is quite high.
Get straight to the point and clearly articulate the value or benefit you can offer to the prospect.
Example:
"Hey [name],
It would be great to connect.
I'm growing my network with other local business owners.
We are based in [location]!
[Name]."
