Healthy ranges
20–35% is normal for a well-targeted no-note request. 30–45% for noted requests with strong relevance. Above 50% means you're targeting your existing network. Below 15% means you're targeting wrong-fit prospects or your profile is undertrustworthy.
Why low acceptance hurts more than low reply
Low acceptance compounds — every rejected invite costs you weekly invite ceiling space and lowers LinkedIn's trust score on your account. Three weeks of 8% acceptance and you'll see invite caps tighten.
Levers to improve
Profile photo and banner (look like a human). Headline that signals reciprocity ("helping X" not "selling Y"). Mutual connections. ICP precision so you target prospects who'd recognize the relevance.
