Inside this episode: Why a pitch inside a connection request never works The three situations where a note actually makes sense, with word for word examples Why LinkedIn now limits how many personalized notes you can send The message to send the moment someone accepts, and what to never send Why the goal of a connection request is not the sale Join us for the Amateur to Expert on LinkedIn Intensive, 5 live days, September 28 through October 2, 12 to 1 PM EDT.
