It’s a missed opportunity and it’s too generic.
Plus, it adds nothing memorable to the conversation.
Think about it:
→ It doesn’t spark engagement.
→ It’s instantly forgettable.
→ It makes you blend in with hundreds of other comments and messages.

The goal? Make your interaction meaningful and memorable.
Here’s an example of what you can say to a first-degree connection:
