Template for cold DMs:
Hi [name] -
[Insert *short* praise.]
[1-2 *short* sentences for context.]
[Tell them your ask *concisely*.]
[Insert link to company page, if relevant]
That& #39;s it.

Example:
Hi J -
Your video on imposter syndrome really struck a chord!
I& #39;m also building with video to create space for authentic conversations. I& #39;d love to learn more about how you incorporate video in your offerings.

Some guiding principles:
1/ If their tweets are short, keep your DM short.
If their tweets are long, still keep yours short.
They shouldn& #39;t have to scroll to read the full message.

2/ Use spacing to your advantage.
Skip rows for the message to feel shorter and more digestible.

3/ If you& #39;re asking to jump on a call, give them just enough info for them to be interested.
Don& #39;t give them a reason to say no by saying more than you have to.

4/ If they& #39;re a "celebrity", you& #39;re balancing:
- showing them that you& #39;ve done your homework
- enough context for them to feel like they can contribute
- hook for them to want to help
Still keep it short.

6/ Act of service
Show that you& #39;re just as interested in helping them as you are for them to help you.
