A message you can edit, copy and send yourself, plus margin notes scoring it on:
- A specific reason it’s this person, now
- Engaging something they actually said
- Stating plainly what you want
- A small, concrete ask
- An easy way to say no
- Fitting the channel
- A respectful tone, without flattery
- Nothing invented

After you send it
Paste it into LinkedIn and send it yourself. If they say no, thank them and don’t re-pitch: how you handle a no decides whether the relationship lasts.
