LinkedIn templates

Follow up without spamming when a prospect has already shown a signal.

These templates start from observable context: accepted invitation, read message, post interaction, or stalled conversation.

Situations covered

Templates to adapt

Keep follow-ups short. One angle, one question, no artificial pressure.

Accepted invitation
Thanks for connecting. I noticed you work on [context]. Curious whether [problem] is already on your radar?
Send within 24 to 72 hours after acceptance.
Read message
Quick bump on this: I was not trying to pitch, just understand whether [signal] is a priority this week.
Use only if the previous message was contextual.
Reopen a thread
Picking this back up on [topic]. Since then, I clarified [short idea]. Worth looking at together?
Best after a real previous reply.

How it works

Follow up from a signal, not a calendar

A follow-up based only on timing quickly feels automated. A follow-up based on a recent signal feels more natural.

How it works

The message should invite a short reply

Ask for a simple reaction instead of an immediate meeting. Conversion often starts with a micro-reply.
