If your message looks like it was sent to 500 people at once, it\u2019s going straight to the trash.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Works?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use real names and details<\/strong> \u2013 Mention their company, recent achievements, or common connections.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tailor your message<\/strong> \u2013 Why should THEY care? Show that you\u2019ve done your homework.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be conversational<\/strong> \u2013 Don\u2019t sound like a bot; write as if you\u2019re talking to a human.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong> Instead of saying, <em>&#8220;We help businesses grow,&#8221;<\/em> say,<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Hi [Name], I saw your company just expanded to [Location]\u2014congrats!
