What gets a LinkedIn message answered

People accept connection requests and reply to messages that are clearly about them: a detail from their post or company, no pitch in the first message, and one small question they can answer in a line. Notes that open with "I came across your profile" and ask for a call straight away are the ones that get ignored — or reported.

What the checker looks at

  • Length — against LinkedIn's limit for that box, and the length that reads best.
  • Generic openers — phrases that make a message look templated.
  • Pitching too early — offers, prices and call requests in a first touch.
  • Links — a link in a connection note looks like spam.
  • Focus — how much it talks about you versus them.
  • The ask — whether it ends with a question that's easy to answer.

Frequently asked questions

How long can a LinkedIn connection note be?

Up to 300 characters on Premium. Many free accounts get 200 characters and a limited number of personalised notes a month — LinkedIn shows the count under the box, so check yours.

Should I pitch in my first message?

No. Start a conversation about their situation first; when they reply, the offer becomes a natural next step instead of an interruption.
