Certainly! When it comes to connecting with people on LinkedIn whom you haven't met, simply clicking the "connect" button is not enough. Adding a personal note along with your connection request can make a huge difference.
By using the note feature, you can briefly explain why you're reaching out and express your genuine interest in connecting with them.
This personalized approach shows that you value their expertise and are not just randomly adding connections. It's also important to keep your message short, specific, and respectful of their time.
Once they accept your request, you can then consider further engaging with them by asking for an informational interview or interacting with their posts.
