Do you personalize every connection request?

I've gone back and forth on this over the years. Sometimes I send a quick generic request, other times I'll add a short note if it's someone I genuinely want to connect with.

A short personal note usually works better it shows there’s an actual reason behind the connection.

It depends on who I'm reaching out to. For someone I genuinely want to connect with, I'll write a short personal note. For general networking, I usually keep it simple.

When possible, always. And it's best done with people who are already second connections. Otherwise the connect rate goes way down.

Even one line note about a shared interest why i'm reaching out feels more genuine , often gets better acceptance rates than sending generic request. i usually personalize them when there a real reason to connett.
