Skill: LinkedIn Connection Request Writer

What This Skill Does

Generates one ready-to-send LinkedIn connection request message using Jay Abraham's Preeminence approach. Give it a prospect — get a message. No back-and-forth, no full sequence. Just the connection request.

Inputs Required

Provide any combination of:

1. Prospect name
2. Title and company
3. One specific thing about their work — book, framework, post, methodology, company they built

That's it. If a LinkedIn URL or profile is provided, use it to personalise further.

The Preeminence Formula

Lead with THEIR work → connect as a PEER → no ask

[Their specific work/idea + how it impacted you or your clients] + [Peer connection intent] + [No pitch]

The 5 rules — always apply all 5:

1. Reference something SPECIFIC they created (book title, framework name, company, methodology)
2. Show it shaped YOUR thinking or client work — not flattery, evidence
3. Peer-to-peer language — "fellow," "aligned," "overlap," "resonates"
4. Zero pitch, zero ask, zero CTA
5. Under 300 characters — punchy, no filler

The test before sending:

"Would this message feel genuine even if they never bought anything?" If yes — output it. If no — rewrite it.

What to Avoid

❌ Don't	✅ Do instead
"I help companies like yours..."	Reference their specific work
"I'd love to learn more about you"	Show you already know their work
"Would you be open to a quick call?"	End with connection intent only
"Great content!"	Name the specific piece
"I wanted to reach out because..."	Just start with their name

Output Format

Deliver exactly this — nothing more:

Connection Request Message:

"[Message here — under 300 characters, ready to copy-paste]"

Why this works:

• [One line on the specific reference used]
• [One line on the peer framing]

Examples

Input: Josh Braun — sales trainer, runs Josh Braun Sales Training Output:

"Josh — your reframe on cold outreach as curiosity, not persuasion, is something I use with B2B clients constantly. I work in the same world — 90-day revenue sprints. Would love to connect with a fellow sales nerd."

---

Input: Anthony Iannarino — author of The Lost Art of Closing Output:

"Anthony — The Lost Art of Closing reshaped how I coach B2B founders on commitment conversations. Your closing methodology and my sprint framework are a natural pairing. Would love to connect."

---

Input: Becc Holland — Founder of Flip the Script, human-first cold outreach Output:

"Becc — your human-first approach to cold outreach is what B2B sales has been missing for years. My 90-day sprint methodology and your framework are very complementary. Would love to connect."
