Hi guys,
I have been having trouble getting responses during cold e-mails to non-alumni.
What is the best way to establish common ground during a cold e-mail? For example, I am a non-target student and I try send e-mails to other non-targets. What is the best way to seamlessly put it in the e-mail?
How are you finding them?
Linkedin?
UTD yes, I am finding them through Linkedin, but they are not alumni.
Find a way to clarify in your e-mail that you're in the same position that they were once in. Hopefully that will make them remember and they can maybe help you from there
@ The Real Gordon Gekko, do you have any advice on how to do that in an e-mail line? Can I just say something like "Coming from a non-target I found it hard to find opportunities in IB, and I see you had a similar background would you have a few minutes to talk about how you made this transition?"
Exactly above is what I'd do.
Allude to how you and them share the common non-target (but I suggest not saying non-target) something like (school with less prominent placement in IB) or something like that. Maybe try to find something about them on Linkedin. You'll see associations, interests, awards, etc. You can normally find something which you can connect on (for me it's golf, rugby or gambling). Harder to put into an email but you'll figure it out man.
Thanks for the advice, would you mind if I sent you a sample e-mail through PM?
