And honestly… it screams “AI-generated”.
ChatGPT *loves* to add extra words. But buyers don’t.
🔹300 - 500 characters for a LinkedIn message (you’re limited to 300 for a connection request for a good reason)
🔹500 - 700 (or 50 - 100 words) for emails
Get to the point and hook ‘em fast! This also makes it easier to respond.
✅ One clear idea per message. No stacking multiple asks.
✅ Make it easy to skim. Short sentences and no long-winded intros.
✅ End with a natural next step and CTA. Not a “what works best for you” essay.
Trimming the fluff = less ghosting 👻
