Practice Writing Emails
1 min readFeb 5, 2019
How to structure my emails and what to write -
1. Introduction: 1–2 sentences (personal)
- say where you found them and mention the problem you noticed they have
2. Two sentences about why you want to talk
- say you want to solve their problem and you need their help in order to do that
- Techniques you can use to get them to talk to you:
- appeal to their pride (“You appear to be an expert”)
- appeal to money
- imply association — mention that you know people in a space that the person cares about
3. One sentence scheduling a time
- “Are you available to talk Wednesday at 11:00 AM?”
- it’s easier if you propose a specific time
- I use online scheduling softwares to let them pick a time
