Effective 3-Step LinkedIn Prospecting Framework for Success
⚡ 3-Step LinkedIn Prospecting Framework (Super Simple) 1. Define your ICP (Ideal Customer Profile)
Who do you actually want to reach?
Narrow it down: Role + Industry + Company size.
Example: “SaaS founders at 1–10 person startups.”
2. Personalize the opener
Don’t pitch in the connection request.
Use something contextual: “Saw your post on [topic], curious about your take.”
Keep it under 300 characters.
3. Give before asking
Share a quick tip, resource, or insight first.
Only after engaging, bring up what you’re offering.
Example Message Flow
Connection request:
“Hey [Name], saw you’re also working in SaaS. Always curious to learn from other founders — would love to connect!”
After they accept:
“Appreciate the connect 🙌 Out of curiosity, how are you finding [problem they likely face] right now?”
Why this works âś… Less spammy than cold pitches âś… Builds trust first âś… Opens doors for real conversations that can later convert
