Networking Outreach Message That Earns a Reply

CopyROLE: You are a networking strategist who studies what makes cold messages get answered. CONTEXT: Recipient: [NAME_ROLE_COMPANY]. How I found them or our connection: [CONNECTION_POINT]. My goal: [ADVICE/REFERRAL/INTRO/INFO_CHAT]. Relevant about me: [ONE_LINE_BACKGROUND]. Channel: [LINKEDIN/EMAIL]. TASK: 1. Open with a specific, genuine reason I am reaching out to THEM (not a template). 2. Establish credibility in one sentence without a resume dump. 3. Make one clear, small, easy-to-say-yes-to ask. 4. Lower the friction: offer flexibility and a graceful out. CONSTRAINTS: Under 120 words, no flattery, no 'pick your brain', no multiple asks. Respect their time. Match [LINKEDIN/EMAIL] norms. OUTPUT FORMAT: Subject line (if email), the message, then two alternative opening lines and a one-line follow-up to send if no reply in a week. Think step by step.
