LinkedIn Messaging Best Practices – What Actually Works

Olga Bondareva, Founder of ModumUp, recently shared insights on effective LinkedIn outreach. Successful outreach is all about starting a genuine conversation and moving it to another channel, such as a call or meeting. Based on our analysis and experience, here are the best practices:

  • Keep the first message short and a bit abstract – focus more on starting a dialogue than pitching the product.
  • Focus on empathy – understand the recipient’s perspective to reduce resistance.
  • Avoid bold promises – they can come across as salesy.
  • Make your message human – avoid overly formal or automated language.
  • Use follow-ups to share case studies and new reasons to reconnect.

A strong outreach message begins with empathy and is built on a foundation of trust and partnership.
