LinkedIn vs Email
Hi everyone,
First, thank you for the content and the answers given.
I wanted to ask you the following question: I need to contact a Managing Director as the first networking message in order to find an internship.
Do you think an email is more powerful than a linkedin message in general or the opposite ?
Thanks a ton and have a nice day !
Email is far better than LinkedIn messaging if you're reaching out to someone in finance. Maybe if it was a different field, LinkedIn could perhaps be more appropriate.
Most in finance don't check their LinkedIn often, and if they do see a message, they might think that the person reaching out was too lazy to figure out their email format. Just my 2c
Thanks.
I only have a personal email, it is tricky to send it to this address, if I don't have a real link with him ? Should I stay with linkedin in this case?
Still use their email address
Like was said above, people are incessantly checking work emails all day long. People might check LinkedIn twice a month.
The older someone is, the less-likely they are to actively use LinkedIn.
Email 100% of the time
Email all day, if you don't have email then linkedIn.
I rarely reply on LinkedIn.
I agree with everyone above. Email is also more professional in my opinion
