## 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.

### 4\. Free profile review for optimisation

If you want to make sure your profile is professional and appealing, we offer you a **free profile review**. We analyse your profile, give you valuable optimisation tips, and show you how to improve your LinkedIn presence. You can request the profile review directly via the **support button or chat area**.

### When candidates and hiring managers receive your request

In-demand candidates receive many requests and are selective. Recruiters need these three tips just as much as sales teams do. CompLeadly imports the list directly from a recruiter search, a saved recruiter search, or a Sales Navigator search using the filter from tip a). It sends the connection requests and only sends the first message as an opener after each request is accepted. If you’re looking for a job, the bonus tip is especially useful: a hiring manager is more likely to accept your request if your profile clearly fits the role. How to word requests to employers you want to work for is covered in [LinkedIn connections: With or without a message](https://compleadly.com/blog/linkedin-connections-with-or-without-a-message-what-works-better); how recruiters build their list is covered on [the recruiting page](https://compleadly.com/use-cases/recruiters).

### 5\. Conclusion

With a strategic approach, you can significantly increase your acceptance rate on LinkedIn. Use Sales Navigator, send your requests at the right times, and test connecting without a message. Your profile also plays a central role, so it should be professionally designed. If you need support, you can use our free profile review.
