Because everyone enjoys hearing their own name, this will elicit an automatic favourable response. - Following that, it's a good idea to briefly describe how you know the person, such as whether you: You were referred to them by a friend. While perusing LinkedIn, you came across their profile. - Then, explain why you believe you have special, highly relevant value to provide and how they will benefit from engaging with you, or WHY they should accept your invitation. - Finally, if possible and appropriate, include a Chat-to-Action to inform them exactly what you want from them, such as accepting your connection invitation, setting up a meeting with you, scheduling a quick call, and so on. \ **Read More: [How Much Will it Cost to Advertise on LinkedIn?](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/96444/how-much-will-it-cost-to-advertise-on-linkedin)** --- Original Source: https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/96436/what-is-the-text-limit-for-personalized-invitations Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
