Hi Vigilante,
Thanks for posting this thread, read through it and I've been using a similar method to get e-mails for anyone for some time already so great actionable advice for everyone here.
Just gonna drop a few nuggets on what I've done after getting an e-mail as the other important step is to get someone of high position to actually respond when you send out an e-mail.
So here is a series of e-mail templates I've used to get someone to respond to me.
E-mail 1
Subject line : specific to your request but be to the point and not too long, you can test what yields the best response rate.
Content:
Dear (Insert first name), [I've found that first name works better than Mr.Smith]
We haven’t spoken before – I’m (First Name Last Name), CEO of (insert your company name here), a leading (company in your specific industry/niche). (Insert target company name) is one of the leading (which service provider) in the (Insert industry) space and I would like to learn more about your views on (Insert what is the broad scope of your proposition).
Who is the best person to have a short 15 minute call with me? (make it easy to help you)
Kind Regards,
(Insert your signature)
E-mail 2 (wait 3 days if no response)
Subject line: Same as in first but make sure it has RE: in the subject line to show continuity (will come in handy with more advanced tactic I will share later)
Content:
Dear (Insert first name of recipient),
Who is the best person to have a short 15min call about (insert your request here)
Kind regards,
(Insert signature)
E-mail 3 (send 1 week after e-mail 2 if no response, this one is getting aggressive and usually will yield in a response if first 2 fail)
Subject line: Same as first e-mail but have RE:RE: in front
Content:
(Insert first name of recipient), any thoughts on below?
(Your first name)
PS! If you are individually contacting people (not in bulk) then make sure to use the reply all function in your e-mail client for the previously sent e-mails this will make sure that the whole thread is included. If you didn't get a response moving through the 3 e-mails.
Will post some more advanced tactics later to do the same thing in bulk using word/excel/outlook and make it appear personal. As I've found that usually there are plenty of prospects out there to approach in any field and there is no such thing as this one perfect prospect who will make or break your success and it will be a numbers game. (I've used the more advance tactics to reach out to hundreds of prospects this way at once and gotten through to some of the biggest players in the investment scene globally)
Hope it helps
