When I first started emailing influencers and professionals, I had no idea how to build meaningful connections. I knew I liked engaging with others, but I didn’t understand how to communicate effectively.
If I could give advice to my younger self, it would be:
– Focus on creating genuine value in your communication.
– Personalize your emails to reflect the recipient’s interests or work.
– Don’t hesitate to negotiate confidently and professionally.
By following these steps, I would have built stronger relationships and achieved better outcomes much earlier.
What advice would you give to your younger self about building relationships through email?

A simple greeting with their name and a few words about their last message can really make a difference.

Newsletters are a good start
I try to check in regularly with my contacts, even if it's just a quick note to say hi. Keeping the lines of communication open helps build trust over time.
Newsletters are definitely a solid way to nurture relationships over email. I like to segment my list so I can send more personalized content. AI tools like GPT-4 can help with generating relevant newsletter content quickly. Consistency is key - pick a regular cadence whether it's weekly, biweekly or monthly and stick to it so your audience knows what to expect. And always provide value, not just promotion!
