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:
- Complete brevity: A single sentence is all you need
- Direct address: Use their first name only
- Time-bound the question: Include a specific timeframe that creates mild urgency
- Send during business hours: When they're likely to be active on LinkedIn
- Verify profile activity: Target people who have been active on LinkedIn recently
- 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?
