- 25. The keepers 1. (Shared connection) suggested that I reach out to you… You’re not a stranger, but a friend of a friend. 2. Hello from a fellow avid Scuba diver Tap into a passion that person has and show you’ve actually done some research about them. 3. We overlapped at Rutgers for two years, but…. Leverage any sort of shared experience you have with the candidate brings you a bit closer to the candidate and shows you’ve actually done some research about them. . 4. Cuong, do you wish you could come back to Cisco? Obviously, this one only works if you are targeting someone who left your company. (“boomerang” employees”) The sleepers 1. You are probably happy at LinkedIn, but… Used a thousand times before, and isn’t going to cause anybody to stop and read it. 2. New product marketing manager role Really? 3. Looking for a dynamic Director of Marketing with a broad marketing background for a great company! Generic 4. Career Opportunity with XYZ Co. Zzzzzzz…… The bleepers 1. Did you get my earlier message? Yes, and I didn’t respond that time either. (Take a hint!) 2. I couldn’t reach you via phone so hoping that you check you InMails Getting “stalker-ish” 3. My client is interested in filling a marketing leader role immediately Sounds like your client has some major issues. Good thing I don’t work for him. (Don’t make your problem, mine) 4. Nice LinkedIn Profile. How are you? Please keep this professional network, professional
