Networking tips and advice!

I need a little advice here... for the past few days I have been sending cold emails (used LinkedIn to get emails) asking for a 15-30 min phone call, so far no one has responded... so what are some things I should do so I can at least get one phone call by this month

more information is needed: 1. How many are you sending out a day? 2. What does your email template look like? 3. How long have you been at this?

Personally I send out about 30 emails a day and probably average 2 responses. I have noticed that a follow up email a few days later sometimes yields higher response of 2-3. All in I might get 4-5 responses per batch over about a weeks time. Not really any skill involved, basically just a numbers game.

 

I am sending around 5-10 emails a day and my template consist of a little intro about myself, my interest in IB and wanting a call with them, its very direct and to the point how do you suggest i follow up after I send an email I didn't get response to/

 

First thing you have to do is send more emails. I'm assuming you go to a non-target (like myself) so you defiantly have to put in the ground work here. For a follow up email I give a simple two liner.

Hi XXX,

I trust that you are doing well. I am following up to see if it would be possible to speak with you regarding you experiences in XXX. Please let me know if you have any availability.
