LinkedIn DM Template

💡 LinkedIn Tip: Connection notes are limited to 300 characters. Direct messages can be sent after connection is accepted.

First 90 days at {{companyName}}?
Hi {{firstName}},

Saw your move to {{companyName}}—congrats!

I specialize in helping manufacturing COOs build their operations stack in the first 90 days.

**What I'm seeing from other new COOs:**

1. **Immediate win needed**: Board wants KPI improvement by Month 3
2. **Data chaos**: Inheriting 4-7 disconnected systems (MES, ERP, Excel)
3. **Quick ROI pressure**: Need to justify any new spend with <6 month payback

I have 15 minutes on {{availableDay}} at {{availableTime}}. Want to compare notes on what's worked for others in similar situations?

Best,
{{senderName}}

Personalization Tokens:

{{companyName}}{{firstName}}{{availableDay}}{{availableTime}}{{senderName}}

Replace these with actual data from LinkedIn or your CRM.

Usage Tips

  • 1Send within 2-4 weeks of job change announcement (not immediately)
  • 2Reference specific challenges new COOs face in first 90 days
  • 3Offer peer comparison ("what others have done") rather than product pitch
  • 4Emphasize quick wins and board-ready results
  • 5Keep tone congratulatory but acknowledge pressure of new role
