How it works
Your follow-up is ready in less than a minute.
Describe your offer
In one sentence: what you sell, no jargon (e.g. payroll software for SMBs).
Pick your target
The job title and type of company you prospect (e.g. HR directors at 50 to 200-person companies).
Paste your first message
Optional, but the follow-up will be much better: it builds on it without repeating it.
Copy your follow-up
Pick the tone, generate, then copy the message into your LinkedIn conversation.
2 LinkedIn follow-up examples
The first message, then the follow-up that brings something new. 👇
You sell payroll software to SMBs
First message
Hi Sarah, a lot of HR directors at SMBs tell us they spend the end of every month checking payroll by hand. Is that something you’re dealing with right now?
Follow-up
Sarah, in companies your size, payroll errors rarely come from the calculation itself: they come from an absence or a bonus that gets reported too late. On your side, what tends to land at the very last minute?
Why it works: A new insight (where errors really come from) and a different question from the first one.
You offer sales coaching
First message
Hey Tom, I see you’re hiring 3 sales reps. How are you planning to get them up to speed fast?
Follow-up
Tom, when three reps start at the same time, it’s often the manager who pays the price: weeks go into shadowing calls and their own pipeline falls behind. Are you running onboarding yourself, or do you have someone to share the load?
Why it works: A new angle (the manager’s workload) rather than a reminder about the hiring, and a question that’s easy to answer.
LinkedIn follow-up: do this, not that
The rules the tool applies to every message.
Do
- Bring something new: an insight, another angle, a resource
- Ask a different question from the first one
- Talk about your prospect’s problem
- End with an open question that’s easy to answer
- 2 to 5 lines, easy to read on mobile
- Write the way you talk, one pro to another
- Personalize with the first name
- 3 follow-ups max, then move on
Don’t
- “Just bumping this up” or “Just following up on my last message”
- Rephrasing your question or asking “Did you see my message?”
- Pitching your product
- Asking for a meeting or pasting a calendar link
- A wall of text nobody reads
- Jargon: “innovative solution”, “optimize your performance”
- Adding a signature, phone number or link
- Fake urgency or guilt-tripping
