TL;DR
What did @Subhash_ati9 use ChatGPT for?
Instead of agonizing over how to reopen old connections, a professional had ChatGPT draft opening emails to people in their LinkedIn network; of the first 5 sent, 4 led to calls and 1 turned into business. Of the 5 people contacted, 4 agreed to calls and 1 converted into business, which they describe as a decent to big number.
What they did
They used ChatGPT to create opening emails to people already in their LinkedIn network, starting small with just 5 people.
How it went
Of the 5 people contacted, 4 agreed to calls and 1 converted into business, which they describe as a decent to big number.
Worth knowing
- It's only 5 messages, so it's an early result, not a proven rate. These were warm contacts already in their network, which helps a lot. Edit each draft so it sounds like you and mentions something real about the person.
- Price check: ChatGPT: free plan; Go: US$8/month (checked Nov 1, 2026).

Try it yourself
Paste this into a chatbot, then add your own details underneath.
Write a short opening message (under 100 words) to [name], a [role] I know from [how we're connected]. Mention [one real detail about them or our last contact], say in one line what I now help with: [your service], and end with a low-pressure ask for a 15-minute call. Friendly, no sales buzzwords. Give me 2 versions.
