What is a Linkedin thank you message?

A LinkedIn thank-you message is exactly what it sounds like:

A simple note of gratitude you send to someone on LinkedIn.

Whether it's for thanking someone for connecting, an interview, a recommendation, or just their time, it’s a way to show appreciation to your connections.

Now, why bother sending one?

A thank-you message makes you memorable.

It shows you’re thoughtful and professional, two traits everyone wants in their network.

Plus, it’s a chance to leave a positive impression, spark a conversation, or even open doors to new opportunities.

So, if you’re not already sending thank-you messages, you might be missing a great chance to start a conversation with your connections.

Time to fix that!

Conclusion

Before I go, I wanted to say a few things.

See, as a business owner, you know how crucial LinkedIn networking is, right?

And I’m sure you’re sending out loads of connection requests to grow your leads.

But there are 2 challenges you’ve probably already come across while doing this:
