Good LinkedIn Message to get a referral?

Hi folks,


Looking to get some advice on a solid cold outreach message for LinkedIn. I'm trying to find the correct contact within an org, its a governmental body so the organisational structure isn't straight-forward or clear at all. So I need to message a few people to get some guidance on where to go to.


I don't want to go with "Hi xxx, hope you're well.... blah blah". Interested to know if anyone has some compelling messaging that I can draw some inspiration from, and more importantly, will actually let someone reply or want to help me.


Thanks Savages!

For all you mail mergers out there, do you see more success emailing one DM or all DMs on a custom thread? I've noticed that putting all relevant DMs on one campaign that is 100% customized to their business has a much higher response rate (28% meeting sucess)
