Hi there, planning get into touch with consultants at a firm and i want to reach out to them via linkedin. i prepared a short message asking them for a chat over the phone. Would you say it's better to "just" send them a message or to send them a message in combination with a request to be added to their network? Intuitvely i would guess its most polite and less "pushy" to just send the message. However, I'll be glad to hear your feedback. Best
