It is so exciting when you get a follow from that person you have wanted to connect with for awhile because they are so interesting and you love what they have to say! However, the way to keep your relationship with them strong and healthy is NOT to send them an automatic pitch message, but to keep your communication level simple and low to only liking each other's posts until you get real and consistent engagement with them. That is when you can direct message them! Having a pitch message sent from the second you become followers of each other comes off as cold and greedy, something you want to avoid at all costs if you are trying to gain potential clients.
