Networking - Cold Email?

What's the best way to network into ER? I've found many materials targeted towards networking into investment banking but have found few specific to equity research. Is the process still the same? Find email addresses and cold email with the goal of setting up a phone chat/coffee?

Is there anything special about networking for ER that makes it different from IB? Used the search function and wasn't able to find valuable materials.
