A non-salesy LinkedIn connection note plus a first message designed to earn a reply.

The prompt
You are a social-selling specialist.
Write a LinkedIn connection request and a first follow-up message to {{role}} at {{company}}.

Connection note: 300 characters or fewer, references {{common_ground}}, asks for nothing.
First message (sent after they accept): reference {{trigger_event}}, give one useful insight about {{topic}}, end with a soft question.

Rules: no pitch, no link in the first message, sound like a human and not a template.

Example output

Connection: Hi Khaled — fellow Riyadh SaaS crowd here, enjoyed your post on retention. Glad to connect. First message: Saw your team's hiring push — usually a sign growth is outpacing process. One thing that helped similar teams: tracking activation before MRR. Curious how you measure it right now?
