Trying to say everything at once
An introduction is a starting point, not a full presentation. Lead with the most relevant part of your work and let the other person guide the depth of the conversation.
Making contact sharing difficult
Searching for usernames, spelling email addresses, and switching between apps interrupts a good conversation. Prepare one reliable destination and more than one way to share it.
- Keep your profile current
- Offer a simple next action
- Record useful context with permission
- Follow up on the conversation you actually had
Sending generic follow-up
A message that could have been sent to anyone rarely advances a relationship. Refer to the shared topic, be concise, and suggest a next step only when it is useful.
