## When Connecting with someone on LinkedIn

1. **On the LinkedIn mobile app** - avoid using the default "Connect" or "Message" buttons. Instead, use the "ellipsis | Personalize invite" button to craft a custom message.

On the LinkedIn website - click "Connect | Add a note"
For this example, imagine that you've met someone at a user group and would like to connect with them.

2. **Craft your custom message** - Begin your message with a friendly greeting, such as "Hey {{ NAME }}, it was great talking to you.". Provide context by mentioning where and how you met and if applicable, mention shared interests or topics discussed to help both parties recall the conversation. Make sure not to come across as too salesy.

Hi Bob 👋,

I've heard that you're interested in Tina CMS.Our team has extensive experience in implementing Tina CMS for various clients, and we'd love to help you too. How about we organize a meeting with our account manager this week to discuss the details? 😃
It was cool to chat. Let's chat more some time!

Hi Bob 👋,

It was great to meet you at the user group this week! It's great to know that a Vue dev has interest in Angular as well 😀

What benefits do you think Angular might have over Vue?
