Have been shooting out networking emails on a consistent basis, and I think just after a couple I glazed over this last one where I addressed the email to the completely wrong person.
Has anyone else done this by chance and is it best to address your mistake or cut your losses.
Also any other cringey email horror stories?

That’s why I schedule send my networking emails and go over them before hitting send. Cut your losses, because that’s a pretty big mistake. I can’t see how you could come back from it because the person who sees your email will know what went wrong and the very first thing you did was make a mistake when introducing yourself.
They ended up responding "Check your line before you send!"
Aplogized... RIPPP
No point apologizing. It's a waste of an email since you've already screwed up
Seriously, what a great first impression... On to the next.
I've done it before myself too lol. Not a big deal, but a huge mistake if you had intentions to work for them.
You should start digging your grave.
It happens, just be more careful. If the person responds you can laugh it off, if not don't email them again
People should understand. If they don't, you probably don't need to work with them anyway. Common mistake. I've done it plenty myself... and have had people respond back to me with a wrong name. I don't think anything of it.
