20+ LinkedIn Templates for Connecting with Potential Clients

If you've thought about hitting that "Connect" button on LinkedIn to connect with a potential client but weren't going to send a note or message, I encourage you to STOP.

Adding a note or personalized message on LinkedIn increases the chance that your Connection request will be accepted by 74 percent (I've read on some sites).

In fact, I tend to have a 70% acceptance rate on people I try to Connect with on LinkedIn.

This LinkedIn template guide I created with customizable scripts will walk you through EXACTLY what to say in a Note when you connect with someone.

It'll also show you what to say in a personalized message on the platform after someone accepts your Connection request. (Let's be honest, sometimes they Accept and don't say anything.)

These are the messages I send to potential clients, former clients, former colleagues, friends of friends and yes, strangers on LinkedIn to learn more about working together.

In fact, this LinkedIn templates guide breaks down what you should say in certain scenarios, like:

• 1st degree Connections who viewed your profile
• Someone you aren't connected with at all
• Someone who commented on a post that you commented on as well
• And SO many more situations!

This digital download features over 20 prompts of what to say in common LinkedIn scenarios.

Including the one that scored me $2,400+ worth of ongoing work with a content marketing client!

It's the exact copy I use on the platform that's helped me grow my followers by 40 percent in over a year and impressions to nearly 30,000 a month.

Even better?

I've gotten thousands of dollars of freelance work by sending these notes and messages on LinkedIn. (Like over $15,000 in the past year.)

Because let's be honest, it's not just about growing your network and followers (which DOES make people more likely to accept your Connection request) but, it's about using the platform to get freelance business.

At least it is for me!

I hope you enjoy these templates and have fun making them your own.

I loved creating this for you.

(NOTE: You may need a LinkedIn Premium account to send some messages to people who aren't in your immediate network. LinkedIn often offers FREE Trial months which I recommend trying out with these templates and scripts.)
