LinkedIn Prospecting Message Generator

Pick the role you're prospecting, the angle your offer leads with, and (optionally) a trigger event you noticed — this builds a full four-touch LinkedIn sequence: a connection note that fits inside LinkedIn's 300-character limit, and three follow-ups spaced to nudge without nagging. Copy-ready, with a graceful exit built into the last message.

Your numbers

Who you're prospecting, e.g. "VP of Sales", "Head of RevOps"
e.g. "B2B SaaS", "logistics", "professional services"
Phrase it as what you noticed — it completes the sentence "Noticed that ___". Leave blank to use a generic industry hook instead.
Phrase as a verb phrase — it slots into "we help teams ___", e.g. "cut onboarding time in half"

Method & assumptions

  • LinkedIn's connection-note limit is 300 characters; the counter includes the [First Name] placeholder, so the real note you send will run a little shorter once an actual name goes in.
  • The Day 0 → 3 → 8 → 15 cadence reflects standard outbound practice: most replies land on the first two touches, so the final message is written as a low-friction, no-pressure close rather than a third push.
  • Treat the output as a strong first draft, not a final send: replace the bracket placeholder and add one line of real personalisation from the prospect's profile or a recent post — generic templates alone under-perform on reply rate.
  • The trigger-event field expects a short clause that completes "Noticed that ___" (e.g. "your team just raised a Series B"); leave it blank to fall back to a generic, angle-matched industry hook instead.

How to use it

Fill in the role and industry you're prospecting, choose the angle your offer leads with, and describe what you help people achieve as a short verb phrase (e.g. "cut onboarding time in half"). If you've got a genuine trigger — funding news, a hire, a LinkedIn post — add it in the format "what you noticed" for a sharper open; otherwise leave it blank and a generic industry hook is used instead. The tool generates a connection note (checked against LinkedIn's 300-character limit) plus three follow-ups on a Day 0 → 3 → 8 → 15 cadence, each with a Copy button. Swap the [First Name] placeholder for the real name before sending, and add one genuinely personal detail — the template gets you most of the way, not all of it.
