How do we reconnect with people who have been in our first degree LinkedIn network for a long time, but who we’ve never actually spoken to?
Here’s the framework.
It’s a script that you would send to people via direct message (DM):
“Hi _____,
We’ve been connected on LinkedIn for ages, and I’ve never actually written to you to say hello, so that’s why I’m writing today.
I see you’re at __________. What are you working on at the moment?
As for me, I’m working on XYZ. Great to reconnect. Let’s keep in touch.
Cheers,
Adam.”
It’s a very simple, reliable framework.
You don’t need to overthink these conversation starters or scripts in order to reactivate or reengage your contacts.
Just say something that you would say if you bumped into them in real life and away you go.
