LinkedIn - Messaging Messaging – The only reason to send a message to someone in your network is not to just sell them something. Connect to them first, then send a “Thank you for the connection” message telling them about what you do or your interests. Always leave the message with a question asking them about their work. It leaves the conversation open and is a great relationship starter.
