The cold LinkedIn message that actually got a reply, word for word
Anonymous
Stopped sending 'I'd love to learn about your experience' messages, they went nowhere for months. Switched to naming one specific thing from their recent post, asking one specific question about it, no ask for a call in the first message. Reply rate went from basically zero to about one in five. The people who did respond mentioned the specificity directly as the reason they bothered.
