In the example above, start with a profile visit, followed by a connection request one hour later. If accepted, send a personalized message one hour after that. If there’s no response, follow up 4-5 days later with another message and finally, like the person's latest post a few days later.

Here’s an example of a LinkedIn message sequence :

  • First Message : Introduction and value proposition.
