**Type 'starter' for my Conversation Starter Scripts PDF & I'll send it to you via DM ( no opt-in)** How do we start a conversation on LinkedIn? This normally happens, or it’s meant to happen, once somebody has accepted our connection request, but unfortunately, most people just leave it there and never actually initiate or engage in a conversation. So, we need a few go-to scripts to kick things off. What should we say as conversation starters for LinkedIn? Here are 2 frameworks you can try. VERSION 1: Now, one of the frameworks you might like to try is this: “Hi_____, Thanks for connecting. I see that we have many mutual contacts in Brisbane [or in consulting, or in whichever city or industry you happen to have a lot of mutual contacts].” What are you working on at the moment? As for me, I’m working on XYZ. Let’s keep in touch, Adam.” VERSION 2: As a second version, you might say: “Hi _______. Nice to meet you. Congrats on what you’re doing at ________. What’s your major focus at the moment? As for me, I’m working on XYZ. Let’s keep in touch. Cheers, Adam.” Two very simple, reliable conversation starter frameworks that you may like to adapt and use yourself. How do you start a conversation on LinkedIn? #linkedin #marketing #business

It's great to start a conversation in a structured way. For me, I always try to end on a question, avoiding a statement. It sends the message that I'm following the ultimate Covey/Carnegie/St Francis tip of seeking to understand before being understood.

Adam, this message framework is very simple and non-confrontational. Question: What is the principle reason you see that people mess up something simple like starting a conversation through a LinkedIn message?
