5 Powerful Messages to Reconnect with Colleagues on LinkedIn
In my last post, I shared a sample LinkedIn chat message that got great responses from readers. But what if you're not sure what to say to a colleague you haven't spoken to in a while? Here are five powerful messages you can send to colleagues to grab their attention and find out how they can help you move to your next career adventure:
“Your network is your net worth. Nurture your relationships and unlock new opportunities in your career.”
Show Interest in Their Career: "Hey there! I saw your recent promotion. Congrats! I'd love to hear more about your new role and how you like it."
Ask for Advice: "Hi! I'm considering making a career change, and I remember you went through a similar transition a few years ago. Would you be willing to chat about your experience and any advice you have?"
Offer to Help Them: "Hi! I noticed that you're working on a new project. Is there anything I can do to help? I'd love to collaborate and learn from you."
Congratulate Them on a Success: "Hi! I saw your company was featured in a news article, that's amazing! How did that come about? I'd love to hear more about it."
Show Genuine Interest: "Hi! It's been a while since we last spoke. I noticed on LinkedIn that you've been doing some really interesting work lately. I'd love to hear more about it and catch up."
Remember, when reaching out to colleagues, it's important to show a genuine interest in their careers and offer value before asking for anything. By doing so, you'll build strong relationships and increase the likelihood of them wanting to help you in your career journey. So, don't hesitate to send these powerful messages and start reconnecting with your network today!
