Target well
Pick recipients with relevant roles or interests; reference a real connection point.
Write a tight message
Use a clear subject, 2-3 sentences max, and a single specific ask.
Show credibility briefly
Add one proof point (project, result) without a long bio.
Follow up once or twice
Wait 4-7 days, send a short nudge, then stop if no response.
