0:00Hey everyone, it's Louie. And if your linkage in connection count is stuck and you don't know how to fix it, this video is for you. I'm going to give you three strategies that actually work in 2026. So, let's get into it. And the first strategy is to personalize every connection request. Most people send the default, I'd like to add you to my

0:21network message, but nobody accept that. When you personalize your request, even with one sentence, your acceptance rate goes up dramatically. It doesn't need to be long, it needs to be specific. Reference something they posted. Mention a shared interest or industry and tell them in one sentence why you want to connect and what value you can bring to the relationship. It can be something like, "Hey, I love your post on B2B growth. Let's say I work in the same

The more you have, the more link suggest your profile to other. Now, strategy number two is to use link in search to find your exact target audience. Most people connect randomly with whoever shows up in their suggestion. But that's not a strategy. That's noise. Instead, use LinkedIn search filter are incredibly important because you can filter by industry, job title, location, company size, seniority level, and find exactly the people you want in your network.
