What do you write to somebody who has no idea who you are? That is the whole problem with LinkedIn prospecting, and LinkedIn Prospecting Message is built for it. You describe the person, their role and why you are reaching out. The tool returns a short, specific note that reads like a human sent it, not a sequence tool firing on schedule.
Short answer: LinkedIn Prospecting Message drafts first contact on LinkedIn, free and without an account. Describe the prospect and your reason for writing, set tone, length and purpose, and generate a note short enough to read in the notification preview.
What is LinkedIn Prospecting Message?
It writes the message you send before any relationship exists: a connection note, the first line after somebody accepts, or a polite nudge a week later. LinkedIn is not email. Nobody skims your note in an inbox, they read the first two lines in a notification and decide there. LinkedIn Prospecting Message writes for that preview, front loading the reason you wrote.
Which Message Are You Actually Writing?
Prospecting on LinkedIn is three or four small messages, not one. Match the settings to the stage.
| Stage | What it should say | Length setting |
|---|---|---|
| Connection note | Why them, in one sentence | 1 line |
| After they accept | Context plus a small question | Short (50-100w) |
| Follow-up days later | New angle, no guilt trip | Short (50-100w) |
| Warm reply thread | Detail and a next step | Medium (100-200w) |
How Does LinkedIn Prospecting Message Work?
One placeholder sits in the box: "Describe what you want your LinkedIn Prospecting Message to produce…". Write who they are, what you noticed about them, and what you want. Set the model, then open the advanced options accordion, where None is the starting value on every select and a way of saying you have no strong view.
Tone and Purpose
Tone runs from Professional to Casual. Purpose covers Outreach, Introduction, Follow-up and Ask, which changes the shape of the closing line.
Warmth slider
Low warmth reads efficient and slightly cold. Mid warmth is the safe setting for a stranger who owes you nothing.
Output and history
Copy is really all you need, since the note ends up pasted into LinkedIn anyway. Past drafts wait in the activity history panel with word counts.
Two Options That Do Nothing Here
The panel is shared with the email tools, so two settings have nothing to attach to. A LinkedIn message has no subject line field, so leave Subject Line on None. Your first sentence does that job instead. Include Signature is redundant too, since your name, photo and headline sit beside every message you send. Toggling it on just adds a block nobody needs.
Watch the length Anything past Short gets truncated in the notification preview. If your opening line does not earn the tap, the rest of the message never gets read at all.
Writing to a Head of Operations
Say you sell route planning software and you are messaging an operations lead at a regional freight company. Prompt: "First LinkedIn message to a head of operations at a regional freight firm. She posted last week about driver retention. I want a fifteen minute call." Three settings do the work here.
- Purpose on Outreach, Tone on Direct.
- Length on 1 line for the connection note itself.
- Include Call-to-Action on, Include P.S. off.
The result opened with her post, not your product: "Your point about drivers quitting over bad routing stuck with me…" Rerun it at Short (50-100w) for the message you send once she accepts.
Sales writing is one corner of EizTools, a free AI platform that works in any browser, asks for no account and puts no cap on the number of drafts. The model is picked per generation, so the same brief can go to xAI Grok or to Anthropic Claude. If you are approaching candidates rather than buyers, Recruiter Cold Outreach is the better starting point.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much can you fit in a connection note?
One line. LinkedIn caps the note on a connection request, and short notes get accepted more readily anyway. Use the 1 line Length setting and save your context for after they accept.
What about the nudge a week later?
Keep the same prompt, switch Purpose to Follow-up, and add a note in Custom Instructions about what you already said. The new message then brings a fresh angle instead of repeating itself back at them.
Will it sound automated?
Only if your prompt is generic. Name something real about the person, a post, a role change, a shared client, and the output carries that detail into the opening sentence where it matters most.
Does it check LinkedIn profiles for me?
No. It has no access to LinkedIn or any profile data. Whatever you know about the prospect has to go into the prompt box yourself, in your own words, before you generate.
Good prospecting messages are mostly research with a little writing on top. This tool handles the writing, which leaves you the minute it takes to read someone's profile first. Send a few careful messages rather than a hundred identical ones. When that prospect later needs a proposal, the writers for it sit in Business Tools.
