Specific beats clever
A good connection note says why this person, why now, and why it is low-pressure.
Keep daily volume conservative
A small number of relevant requests beats large volumes that dilute reputation.
Use context
Target role, recent topic, shared market, and seed leader proximity all make the request feel more natural.
FAQ
Should every request include a note?
Not always. Sometimes a clean request is better than a forced note.
