Here are examples of different types of cold outreach messages you can send:
“Flattery Will Get You Everywhere”
“Hi, Jacob. I read your recent blog post and I was impressed. I’d love to connect to find out more.”
“Reference A Shared Connection”
“Hey, John. Just noticed that we have a mutual connection in Matthew. I love what you’re doing at XYZ Company and would love to connect.”
“Stroke the Ego”
“Hey John, I noticed your profile was at the top of search results for our industry. I would love to talk more with an expert in the field and get some solid advice.”
“Provide Value”
Hi Tanya,
I hope everything is going well for you.
I came across an article that I think you’ll really like. It talks about some of the cutting-edge automation opportunities manufacturers like you are using today.
Here’s the link to check it out - >>LINK<<
There is a ton of great info in this post and I particularly found the adoption metrics across the industry eye-opening.
Enjoy the read!

“Use Networking As Your In”
Hi Bob,
I hope this message finds you and your business doing well.
One of the things I love about LinkedIn, in particular, is the ability to easily meet and connect with interesting people to share connections or ideas. With that in mind, I thought this might be an appropriate time to learn a little more about each other and our mutual businesses.
Would you have time for a brief phone call next week? How about Wednesday, June 5 between 2-4 pm?
I look forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!
Regards,
Craig
“Re-Engage Existing Connections”
Hey Bob,
We’ve connected here on LinkedIn for a while but don’t really know each other.
As much as I love all this social media stuff I actually like to get to know my connections.
Would you be open to a call or maybe grabbing a coffee sometime soon? Just to get to know about each other’s businesses and see how we might be able to help each other.
Thanks,
Carl
“The Mutual Friend”
Hi {First_Name},
How are you? I noticed we share a mutual connection, {Name of Person}. How do you know him/her?
{Name of Person} and I did our undergraduate degree together!
Anyways, I also looked at your profile and it appears we are employed in the same industry. I would love to exchange ideas with you.
Let’s connect!
Take Care/Regards,
