Reference something specific, be clear about what you want, keep it under 5 sentences. Reply rate went from 5% to 30%.
Referencing a specific post or article they wrote gets replies consistently. Generic connection requests get ignored.
The 5-sentence rule is the key. Long messages feel like assignments. Short ones feel like conversations.
