Definition
A connection request is an invitation to join another member's LinkedIn network. Once accepted, both parties can message each other directly. Acceptance rate is driven by relevance, a credible profile, and — where used — a short, personalized note. Weekly invite volume is subject to LinkedIn limits.
Why it matters
The connection request is the top of the LinkedIn funnel. A higher, safer acceptance rate means more conversations without pushing the account past safe limits.
