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
