If invites are going out but few people accept, work through these in order — the first one explains most cases.
1. Are these the right people?
People accept invites that make sense to them. Read the score reasoning on the leads you're inviting: if it's full of hedges ("adjacent", "uncertain"), your targeting is the problem, not the message. Sharpen your ICP, raise the quality threshold, or add "Don't target" exclusions — fewer, better invites beat volume every time.
2. Read the note like a stranger
Connection notes are deliberately short — under 200 characters, one or two sentences, no ask. A note that pitches gets ignored; a note that reacts to something real on the profile gets accepted. Edit the drafts in your queue: every edit teaches the system your voice, so the tenth note needs less fixing than the first.
3. Let warmup do its job
Before the invite, the sequence views the profile, likes a recent post, and often comments — so by the time your invite arrives, your name is familiar. The comment lands in your queue for approval like any message; approving good comments is part of what makes invites land.
4. Pacing and account age
A young seat sends few invites by design, and all invites go out inside the seat's 08:00–20:00 local window at natural moments. If accepts are low and the seat is brand new, the honest answer is often: not enough data yet — judge after the warmup ramp finishes, not in week one.
