Linkedin message vs E-mail and Networking help

Hi everyone,

I got a later start in the recruiting process but I'm still finding ways to network. I sent some Linkedin messages to a couple of school alum and people from my home country working in IB but I don't seem to get a reply. I'm sure their busy and aren't checking their Linkedin every day like undergrads but would it be unprofessional to contact their work email? Should I start emailing them directly?

Thanks

Yeah I figured I'd get more replies through email. Do you think it matters if I email the same person from Linkedin or should I move on to a different person?
