- atkc 6y agoThanks. I have been using LinkedIn, and actually able to connect to some of them. Setting up an actual meeting (online of course) seems a lot tougher. I already personalized the message and targeted those people most likely to be interested, but still not much luck. Any suggestion on how to improve my chance of able to set up a meeting?
- maxk42 6y ago"Hi, I'm building <X> and I'm trying to understand the industry's pain points better. Would <solution> be helpful? Is there something else that would be useful to your business?" Something like that. Ask specific questions if you want answers. Make it easy for them to write a one- or two-sentence reply and you'll get paragraphs of valuable information back.
- atkc 6y agoThanks. I'll give that a try too.
- smarri 6y agoSecond this. It works for me. I'd recommend being brief and not to go overboard on the sales chat, just a simple and clear ask.
