How do I write professional emails for LinkedIn?

Use a short, personalized structure: 1) subject (InMail) or first line (connection) that names common ground; 2) one sentence that shows you did research; 3) one sentence that states value or reason; 4) one clear, low-friction CTA; 5) polite close. Keep it 2–4 short sentences.

Practical tips:

  • Personalize one detail (recent post, company news, mutual contact).
  • Say what you offer in terms of benefit (“I help product teams cut onboarding time 30%”).
  • Make the CTA simple (“Quick 15-min call next Wed/Thu?” or “Can I send a one-page summary?”).
  • Use first name, avoid jargon, proofread, no attachments on first outreach.
  • Follow up once after 3–5 business days; third message only if you add new value.

Templates:

  • Connection request (single line): “Hi [Name], enjoyed your post on [topic]. I work on [benefit] for [industry]—would love to connect.”
  • InMail: Subject: “Quick idea for [Company]” Body: “Hi [Name], I noticed [specific]. I help [who] achieve [result]. If useful, can we do 10–15 minutes next week to explore?” —Thanks, [You]

Who exactly are you trying to reach and what's your goal (hire, partnership, info)?
