Even with the perfectly crafted InMail however, some will require a warrant a follow-up for your best chance at securing them as a lead.
Follow up each unanswered InMail just once after your initial InMail. A good approach is to forward the same InMail to your prospect 1-2 weeks after the original, asking again for an appointment. A second follow-up is not usually worthwhile, but consider saving them as a potential lead in future.
Be sure to set a regular cadence for sending InMails, and you should see an increased engagement rate over traditional cold-contact methods.
