Building a Message Sequence: Connection Requests & Follow-Ups

Learn how to structure connection requests and follow-ups that keep prospects engaged.

A sequence lets you create a structured outreach journey instead of sending one message to every prospect at the same time.

A basic LinkedIn sequence can include:

  1. Connection request

  2. Waiting period

  3. Follow-up message

  4. Additional follow-up

  5. Stop condition when the prospect replies

Build Your Sequence

  1. Open the campaign sequence builder.

  2. Add your first LinkedIn action.

  3. Select the connection request step when appropriate.

  4. Add a delay.

  5. Add the first follow-up.

  6. Add another delay.

  7. Add additional follow-ups if needed.

  8. Review your conditions and stop rules.

  9. Save the sequence.

Writing Follow-Ups

Each follow-up should add value.

Avoid sending:

Just following up.

Instead, provide a reason for continuing the conversation, such as a useful resource, relevant observation, or direct question.

Tips

• Keep sequences short and purposeful.

• Don't repeat the same message.

• Give prospects enough time to respond.
