The "Single-Question Spark" LinkedIn Format

[First Name], are you still looking to [achieve specific business goal] in [timeframe]?

How To Use This Format Effectively:

  1. Complete brevity: A single sentence is all you need
  2. Direct address: Use their first name only
  3. Time-bound the question: Include a specific timeframe that creates mild urgency
  4. Send during business hours: When they're likely to be active on LinkedIn
  5. Verify profile activity: Target people who have been active on LinkedIn recently
  6. Align with visible priorities: Reference goals that appear in their recent posts or profile

Examples:

For a Sales Director:

Jason, are you still looking to increase qualified sales opportunities in Q3?

For a Marketing VP:

Elena, are you still looking to reduce cost-per-acquisition this quarter?

For a CEO:

David, are you still looking to enter the enterprise market this year?
