@adammarx13's tweet got me thinking.
Over time, driving sales for a startup through LinkedIn, I had come up with an implicit framework to send the right connection notes.
I now see a 90%+ acceptance rate.

People make the mistake of sending a huge generic paragraph in the first note, or they send a sales pitch.
Of course, you get ignored.
1st:
Make your headline reflect what you do. People are more likely to take you seriously.
"I help {X} do {Y}" is simple and best.

Only send connection requests to people you genuinely want in your network.Don't be random or broad in your approach. Money can be made on LinkedIn. Be wise with whom you connect with.
Mention said genuine reason in your connection note.How?
"Read your {content}, liked {this}. Would like to connect.""QQ about {Specific thing of their interest}""Saw you recently {achievement}, I help {something relevant to them}- let's connect"Keep this < 150 characters and don't start with "Dear XYZ" for God's sake!
Mention someone in your mutual connections. Better if it's someone they engaged with recently. "Hi {Name}, here via {mutual connect}. Interested in {their work}- let's connect!"
Social proof makes it more likely that they accept.
Final note
I know a lot of Twitter bros like to bash LinkedIn.
But there is serious potential if you use it the right way.
Don't alienate a channel just because Twitter banter said it's uncool.
LinkedIn can drive serious results.
