What connection notes works best for you on LinkedIn?

Question

I started growing my LinkedIn profile in June, and I am trying to grow my connections among people from my target audience. I have already tried a few different approaches for the note while I request to connect with somebody.

Yet, I think this is something where I could still improve my acceptance rate. What worked best for you?

P.S. Please note, that I'm not interested in DM'ing people right after they accept to pitch my product, but rather grow the reach of my content.

I personally feel sending connection requests without a message works better. The key to better acceptance is to optimize the profile around the industry of the target audience.

@tanvi_gandhi This is exactly what I started testing out, and I think I see an improvement. But still, that's kinda interesting that in my country the acceptance rate from the same "target group" is around 80%, while in the US it's below 10%

@qbagaj I'm very surprised to hear that. I've had spectacular results with US audiences. Can you tell which industry folks are you trying to reach?
