Universal Rules
The Formula: Who (right person, verified contact) + Why Now (trigger event) + WIIFT (what's in it for them)
Personalization: Reference something SPECIFIC — not "loved your work" but "your piece on X changed how I think about Y." If you can't find a hook, you haven't researched enough.
Timing:
- Best: Tuesday-Thursday, 9-11am recipient's timezone
- Avoid: Monday 9am, Friday afternoon, holidays, major news days
- Check: Did they just post/publish something? Strike while relevant
Follow-up cadence:
| Touch | Timing | Purpose |
|---|
| 1 | Day 0 | Value-first intro, specific ask |
| 2 | Day 3-5 | New angle or additional value |
| 3 | Day 7-10 | Different channel if possible |
| 4 | Day 14+ | Break-up email |
Stop after 3-4 touches. "Bumping this up" is spam.
Quick Checks
Before sending:
Red flags to avoid:
- "I came across your profile..." (generic)
- Pitching in first message (build curiosity first)
- "Per my last email..." (guilt-trip)
- Asking for "exposure" (have budget or don't ask)
- Simultaneous competitor pitches with exclusive angles
