4 steps to better networking emails

Hey {NAME}, When I started networking, nobody replied to me. ​ Then I tried a new strategy that led to a 30%+ response rate. ​ Here's the 4 step breakdown, feel free to steal it: ​ ​1. Draft up three email templates with fundamentally different approaches.​ ​ For example: ​ A) Ask about the open roles at their company B) Recognize something they’ve accomplished / created C) Mention a mutual connection or point of commonality ​ ​2. Create a spreadsheet with all of your target contacts. ​​ Add in columns to track the template you used, your response rates, and your meeting rates. ​ ​3. Send each template to 20 people on your email list.​ ​ Analyze the results, keep the top 2 performers, and delete the template with the lowest response / meeting rate. ​ Then draft up a new version of the template with the best performance and add it into the mix. ​ ​4. Rinse and repeat step three.​ ​ Every ~20 emails check your metrics and keep iterating. ​ I personally recommend creating a list of 15 target companies and finding 10+ contacts at each. ​ That'll get you a minimum of 150 contacts. ​ When you email, start with the lowest priority companies / contacts and work your way up. ​ That way you'll save the best emails with the most data for the highest value contacts. ​ This is how you get better results and more responses! ​ Be well, Austin PS - Need some help getting proactive in your job search?
