Profile optimization, thought leadership posts, and networking outreach
Write a LinkedIn Connection Request That Gets Accepted
You are a LinkedIn networking coach. I want to connect with [TARGET_PERSON] who is a [TARGET_ROLE] at [COMPANY_NAME]. We have [CONNECTION_CONTEXT] (e.g. no connection, met at a conference, mutual connection). My reason for connecting is [MY_REASON]. Write 3 connection request notes (under 300 characters each) for different scenarios: cold outreach, warm introduction, and content-based connection (I engaged with their post). Each must be specific, non-salesy, and give a clear reason for connecting.
Write a LinkedIn DM That Gets a Reply
Act as a LinkedIn outreach copywriter. I want to send a direct message to [RECIPIENT_NAME] who is a [RECIPIENT_ROLE] for the purpose of [OUTREACH_PURPOSE] (e.g. exploring collaboration, requesting advice, pitching a service, seeking a job referral). I have [RELATIONSHIP_LEVEL] with them. Write a DM (under 120 words) that: opens with a personalised line that shows I know their work, clearly and quickly states my purpose, makes a single low-friction ask, and does not feel like a template. Also write a follow-up DM to send if I get no reply after 5 days.
Build a LinkedIn Outreach Sequence for Lead Generation
You are a LinkedIn lead generation strategist. I offer [SERVICE_OR_PRODUCT] for [TARGET_CLIENT_TYPE]. I want to build a 3-message outreach sequence on LinkedIn to convert cold connections into conversations. Write: Message 1 — connection request note (under 300 characters, no pitch), Message 2 — sent 3 days after acceptance (value-led, no ask), Message 3 — sent 5 days after Message 2 (soft pitch with a single clear CTA). Each message must feel personal, not automated. Include advice on how to personalise Message 1 for each prospect at scale.
Respond to Inbound LinkedIn Messages Professionally
Act as a professional LinkedIn communications coach. I have received the following inbound LinkedIn message: [INBOUND_MESSAGE]. The sender is a [SENDER_TYPE] and their apparent purpose is [MESSAGE_PURPOSE]. Write 3 response options: a warm accepting response (if I want to engage), a polite deferring response (if I am interested but busy), and a gracious declining response (if it is not relevant). Each response should maintain my professional reputation and leave the door open appropriately.
Grow LinkedIn Followers in Your Target Niche
You are a LinkedIn growth strategist. I want to grow my follower count from [CURRENT_FOLLOWERS] to [TARGET_FOLLOWERS] in [TIMEFRAME]. My niche is [NICHE] and my target audience is [TARGET_AUDIENCE]. Design a LinkedIn growth plan covering: the content types that attract followers in my niche, a daily engagement routine (commenting, connecting, posting) that takes under 20 minutes, the profile changes that increase follow-through from visitors, and 3 growth tactics specific to [NICHE] that most people in this space overlook.
Engage Meaningfully With Your LinkedIn Network Weekly
Act as a LinkedIn relationship management coach. I want to spend 20 minutes a week maintaining and deepening my LinkedIn network in a way that feels authentic, not performative. I have [NETWORK_SIZE] connections and my professional focus is [PROFESSIONAL_FOCUS]. Design a 20-minute weekly LinkedIn relationship routine: who to reach out to, what to say, how to engage with content strategically, which connections to prioritise, and how to track relationship warmth over time without a CRM tool.
Use LinkedIn to Research a Company or Hiring Manager
You are a LinkedIn intelligence specialist. I am preparing to apply to [COMPANY_NAME] or interview with [HIRING_MANAGER_NAME]. I want to use LinkedIn to research them thoroughly and ethically before our interaction. Give me a step-by-step LinkedIn research checklist covering: what to look for on the company page, how to research the hiring manager without triggering a 'viewed your profile' alert, what their recent activity and posts reveal about their priorities, and how to use this intelligence to personalise my application or interview preparation.
Handle Negative Comments on LinkedIn Posts Professionally
You are a LinkedIn reputation management coach. I posted [MY_POST_SUMMARY] and received this negative or challenging comment: [NEGATIVE_COMMENT]. The commenter is a [COMMENTER_TYPE] (e.g. peer, potential client, troll). I want to respond in a way that: maintains my credibility and professionalism, addresses the substance of the criticism if valid, does not get defensive or dismissive, and potentially converts a critic into a conversation. Write 3 response options ranging from brief acknowledgement to a substantive engagement.
Write a LinkedIn Recommendation for a Former Manager
You are a professional LinkedIn writing coach. I want to write a LinkedIn recommendation for [MANAGER_NAME] who was my manager at [COMPANY_NAME] for [DURATION]. The most significant impact they had on my career was [KEY_IMPACT] and their standout leadership quality is [LEADERSHIP_QUALITY]. Write a 120–150 word recommendation that: opens with a specific and memorable leadership quality (not 'It is my pleasure'), gives a concrete example of how they made me better, names the result or outcome of their leadership, and closes with an enthusiastic endorsement that feels earned.
Write a LinkedIn Recommendation for a Direct Report
Act as a leadership coach and professional writer. I want to write a high-impact LinkedIn recommendation for [EMPLOYEE_NAME], who was a [ROLE] reporting to me at [COMPANY_NAME]. Their standout contribution was [KEY_CONTRIBUTION] and they possess exceptional skills in [TOP_SKILLS].

Tone: proud, professional, and authentic.
Respond to a LinkedIn Post to Build Visibility
You are a LinkedIn engagement strategist. I want to leave a comment on this post by [POST_AUTHOR] in [INDUSTRY]: [POST_CONTENT]. My goal is to: build genuine visibility among [POST_AUTHOR]'s audience, demonstrate my expertise in [EXPERTISE_AREA], and add something that makes my comment worth reading — not just agreement. Write a comment (under 80 words) that adds a new angle, a relevant example, or a thoughtful extension of the idea. Make it the kind of comment that earns a reply from the author.
Write a LinkedIn Endorsement Request Message
Act as a professional networking coach. I want to ask [CONTACT_NAME] who is my [RELATIONSHIP_TYPE] to endorse me on LinkedIn for [SPECIFIC_SKILL]. We worked together on [SHARED_CONTEXT]. Write a short, friendly message requesting the endorsement that: reminds them of our specific work together, explains which skill I am focusing on and why it matters for my current goal of [CURRENT_GOAL], makes it easy to say yes in one click, and offers to reciprocate if appropriate.

Write a LinkedIn Post to Attract Collaborators or Partners
Act as a LinkedIn partnership attraction strategist. I am looking for [COLLABORATOR_TYPE] (e.g. co-creators, referral partners, joint venture partners, community members) to work with on [COLLABORATION_GOAL]. Write a post that: clearly describes the type of collaboration I am seeking without being vague, explains what I bring to the partnership, describes the ideal collaborator profile specifically, and makes it easy for the right person to raise their hand. Under 230 words. Open and inviting, not desperate.
