You spend time crafting the perfect LinkedIn message or email… and then? Crickets. No response. Just another message lost in the void. With inboxes overflowing (and AI-generated spam everywhere), people are more skeptical than ever. Generic messages get ignored, salesy pitches get deleted, but that doesn’t mean you can’t break through the noise! In this episode, Scott walks you through exactly how to write a networking email or LinkedIn message that actually gets a response.

What you’ll learn

• The three key elements of an effective outreach message
• Why your messages are being ignored (and the mistakes you’re likely making)
• How to make genuine connections without feeling awkward or transactional
