How do I write a networking email introduction?

Start by addressing the recipient by name, then introduce yourself briefly. Mention how you found them or why you're reaching out.

Can you give me a template for that?

Sure! Here's a simple template:

Subject: Introduction - [Your Name]

Hi [Recipient's Name],

I hope this message finds you well. My name is [Your Name], and I am [your position or a brief background]. I came across your profile on [platform or event] and was impressed by [specific detail]. I would love to connect and discuss [specific topic or opportunity].

Best regards, [Your Name] [Your LinkedIn or contact information]

What should I avoid in my introduction?

Avoid being too formal or overly casual. Don't make it all about you; focus on how you can provide value to the recipient.

How long should the email be?

Keep it concise—ideally, no more than 3-4 short paragraphs. Respect their time and get to the point quickly.
