Networking Outreach Message Builder

Prompt

Write networking outreach messages for my job search in [TARGET INDUSTRY OR ROLE].

Context about me: [BRIEF BACKGROUND — 2-3 SENTENCES]
Target contact description: [WHO ARE YOU REACHING OUT TO — THEIR ROLE/COMPANY]
Purpose of outreach: [INFORMATIONAL INTERVIEW / REFERRAL / ADVICE / RECONNECT]
Connection (if any): [MUTUAL CONNECTION / SHARED BACKGROUND / COLD OUTREACH]

Write 3 versions of the message:

**Version A — LinkedIn connection request** (300 characters max)
Personal, specific, not generic. Reference something real about them.

**Version B — LinkedIn message after connecting** (150 words max)
Clear ask, easy to respond to, no pressure. Show genuine curiosity about their experience.

**Version C — Email cold outreach** (200 words max)
Subject line included. Professional but warm. Clear what you want, why them specifically, and an easy yes/no ask.

For all versions:
- Never use "I hope this message finds you well"
- Be specific about why THIS person, not just their company or title
- Make the ask small and low-friction
- Show genuine interest in their perspective, not just what you can get
- Include a clear but optional call to action
