Please suggest some good method for cold mailing/message to join a startup or a firm. Have reached out over mail to multiple folks but no success in converting into calls. Appreciate any suggestion or advice.
The nature of cold emailing /messaging is such that it's like a shot in the dark - it can be as low as 1 in 50 to 100
Sharing some tips that helped me -
Make sure your emails / messages are professional. Nobody is likely to respond to a poorly worded email
Helps if you can reach out to someone who has a common connect with you - response rate gets much higher if you're reaching out to someone from your school /college / prev work place etc. Even if the person is not at a super senior post, they can help you get a foot in the door
If you have nothing in common, it can sometimes help to write a little about why you're passionate about the start up or firm. Doing a little bit of research and giving a strong reason for why you want to be part of the team, can help you stick out
If you can offer specific expertise or help that you think would really help the company, worth mentioning that to pique their interest
Really helpful! Thanks

1. Accept that it's a numbers game. Especially in this market 2. Embrace that there may be a super stupid person o...
