01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A person and a legitimate business or professional reason to connect

“Prepare a relevant connection request while leaving the decision and final send action with an authorized person.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a team prepare considerate professional introductions without sending an unreviewed request or message.

  1. Confirm the reason for connecting

    Make sure the introduction supports a real professional purpose and is appropriate for the person and context.

  2. Check the intended recipient

    Verify the profile belongs to the right person and flag uncertainty rather than relying on a similar name or incomplete match.

  3. Check for an existing relationship or pending request

    Avoid preparing a duplicate invitation when the people are already connected or a request is awaiting a response.

  4. Prepare a concise personal note

    Draft an honest introduction based on relevant context without implying a prior relationship or making unsupported claims.

  5. Approve before sending

    Have the sender review the exact profile, purpose, and message and manually approve the request before contacting the person.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A verified recipient and optional introduction note held for the sender to approve before sending.

Keep in mind

An unsolicited or incorrect request can affect a person’s privacy and trust. Confirm a legitimate reason to connect, respect contact preferences and platform rules, use only appropriate profile information, and require the sender to approve the exact recipient and note before any public-facing contact is made.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define appropriate connection purposes

Set clear standards for relevant professional reasons and exclude indiscriminate or misleading outreach.

Set contact and profile-data boundaries

Use only necessary professional details and respect stated preferences and applicable platform expectations.

Keep requests in a review state

Make it clear that a prepared note is a draft and cannot be sent until its recipient and content are approved.

Assign authorized senders

Name who checks the person, purpose, timing, and exact wording before making an external connection request.
