Networking Emails - Low Response Rates
I have noticed my response rates to networking emails are typically not very high. Only a few people respond per week, yet I send dozens of emails.
To those who are on the other side, for what reason would you accept or ignore a short 15 minute call from an alum, assuming the email is to the point and brief, around 3-4 sentences?

Hope it helps and I don’t know what you mean by dozen of emails but out of 100 email I used to have 20 replies and 4-5 actual calls. It’s low but it’s a number game.
Good luck!
Could you give pointers on how to incorporate the common interest point into cold emails? Not sure how I bring up a similar hometown or hobby without sounding creepy. Thanks!
Would recommend attaching a resume if you're comfortable.
At least from conversations I've had with people, it's easier to get a response if you lay out a few experiences / interests that might be shared by others.
I respond to every email as I don’t get many. I would try to target the people no one else is reaching out to and people in lower tier groups if it’s a firm that gives out a generalist offer. The juniors who run the summer intern recruiting at my firm are not in top groups. If you send the same generic email that someone already got 5 times that day, yours probably doesn’t stand out.
