How to increase your LinkedIn connection acceptance rate by 10–30% right away
1. Introduction
A high acceptance rate for your LinkedIn connection requests is essential for expanding your network efficiently and building relevant business connections. With targeted strategies, you can increase your acceptance rate by 10 to 30%. Here, you’ll learn which three tips can help and how your LinkedIn profile plays a key role.
2. Three proven tips to increase connection acceptance
a) Select active users
Use Sales Navigator, to display only people who have posted something recently. These users are active on LinkedIn, which increases the likelihood that they will accept your connection request.
b) The best times to send requests
Send your requests in the morning before 9 a.m. or in the evening after 8 p.m.. During these time slots, there is less competition from other connection requests, and your message appears near the top of your potential contacts’ inboxes.
c) Connect without a message
Sometimes recipients read too much into a connection message, which can lead them to ignore the request. Therefore, test connecting without a message, to increase your acceptance rate.
3. Bonus tip: Your LinkedIn profile as a success factor
Your LinkedIn profile is your digital business card and often determines whether a contact accepts your connection request. A professional profile should clearly answer what benefits your network gains from connecting with you. An incomplete or uninformative profile can put off potential contacts.
