It can combat nerves and help the process feel more genuine.&#8221; However, she continues, &#8220;it\u2019s pretty audacious to ask for something from someone whom you\u2019re <em>blatantly admitting<\/em> you barely know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Her\u00a0fix, though, is amazingly easy. &#8220;We met at [EVENT].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s direct and flows naturally. Thus, &#8220;an ask won&#8217;t feel as out of place,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p>(Bonus points if you can include an inside joke or concrete example of what you bonded over before addressing your request.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emailing a long-lost contact<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Again, resist &#8220;remember me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s more of a nod to the fact that you haven\u2019t made time to stay in touch\u2014and that\u2019s kind of a sour note to start on,&#8221; McCord explains. Skip the awkward admission and do some Internet sleuthing instead. Acknowledge what you&#8217;ve learned, give them some praise, then make your ask.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I saw on LinkedIn that you launched a wedding planning company. Congratulations! I&#8217;d love to learn \u00a0how you built a business from scratch and what requests you&#8217;re hearing from brides, as it could help me click with prospective clients. Would you like to catch up over coffee next week?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emailing someone important and intimidating<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say you want to follow up with a popular keynote speaker, the mayor,\u00a0or any movers and shakers in your community. It&#8217;s natural to tell yourself that anyone with such robust Rolodexes would never recognize your name in their\u00a0inbox.<\/p>\n<p>McCord&#8217;s advice: &#8220;Like you would before other daunting career situations, give yourself a little pep talk: You\u2019re thoughtful and interesting, that\u2019s why they\u2019ll remember who you are. Now, if you think they\u2019ll need some context because of the sheer number of people they speak to at events, then provide it, but go on to write what you would to other contacts.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;You might not remember me&#8230;&#8221; Raise your hand if you&#8217;ve ever started an email with this\u00a0\u2014 let&#8217;s be brutally honest\u00a0\u2014 LAME and passive phrase.
