The Best Day for LINKEDIN REQUESTS

Last week, I did a poll and asked if everyone knew the BEST day to send connection requests. 📅

84% of you got it wrong. ❌

I don't blame you, the answer surprised me too.

You see, I did some research over a several month period, and found that there is ONE day of the week that people are almost TWICE as likely to accept a connection request. ✅

I got lots of comments on my poll about how this was silly, because connection requests should be more natural, and you shouldn't waste time worrying about which day is best.

And there is some truth to that. I send requests every day of the week, because LinkedIn DOES have a limit on how many connection requests you can send each day, so you really can't save up all your requests for a single day.

However, if you have someone that you strategically want to get connected with, you should send out the request on....

SUNDAY!!

People are almost twice as likely to accept if you send Sunday morning.

It does actually does make sense, now that I've done the research.

During the work week people are busy and it's easy for these requests to slip by them. Saturday is more of a family day, but on Sunday, people are actually pretty active on LinkedIn. They're starting to get in work mode.

Are you surprised by the results? Is it silly to think about this?👇👇
