I think you are unlikely to get a reply by sending an email... inboxes are getting spammed all day by research/trade ideas/etc so very likely some random email will not get clicked on (I would probably think it is a phishing test), assuming it passes the firewall. Maybe I am wrong there, but I think it would be better to try and LinkedIn connect with someone you have some connection to (school, sports, etc.) and then ask some time for a coffee chat/etc which you can use to learn more and ask them to point you others who might be willing to share 15-20minutes of their time.

Then again, feel free to send an email and maybe someone will reply if you cast a wide enough net. Best of luck!

 

Thats fairly good. Anything between 5-9% is great odds when it comes to cold emailing. 2-3% is average for the non target crowd
