Introduce Yourself via Email

Cold emails are hard. You want to sound confident but not arrogant, interested but not desperate.

The Problem

Introduction emails fail because they're:

  • Too long and rambling
  • Too vague about what you want
  • Too focused on yourself, not the reader

How AI Helps

AI can structure your introduction to quickly establish credibility, show genuine interest, and make a clear ask — all in a concise, professional package.

When to Use This

  • Networking with industry contacts
  • Reaching out to potential mentors
  • Introducing yourself to new team members
  • Connecting after events or conferences
  • Cold outreach for opportunities

Tips for Best Results

  1. Do your research first - Know something specific about them
  2. Be clear about your ask - What do you want? A call? Advice? Coffee?
  3. Keep it brief - Respect their time
  4. Make it easy to say yes - Suggest specific times or next steps
