The best time to send LinkedIn messages is on weekdays during working hours in the lead's time zone, usually mid morning or early afternoon. Tuesday through Thursday tend to perform best. Timing helps a good message, but it will not save a weak one.
With a strong message, timing can lift your acceptance and reply rates. Here is what works, and how to let the tool handle it.
Weekdays beat weekends
B2B prospects check LinkedIn around work. Tuesday through Thursday usually see the best engagement, while weekends lag. Stick to business days unless your audience is unusual.
Aim for working hours in their time zone
Target mid morning, around 9 to 11 am, and early afternoon, around 1 to 3 pm, in the lead's local time. Messages that land during the workday get seen faster, and a fast view often means a faster reply.
Space your follow-ups
Do not message two days in a row. Leave a day before the first message, then three to five days between follow-ups, moving to five to seven days later. This keeps you present without being annoying.
