how i got email replies from mark cuban paul graham steve wozniak proof tutorial -> Finding the Right Email Address I found 5-10 possible emails for each person I was trying to reach. I do this to avoid bait emails like elon@tesla.com that they never check. I used tools like RocketReach and CEO Email to make my list. (There are more ways, but I'm not sure how legal those are I pick one primary email and cc/bcc the rest. Crafting the Email CEOs and founders are busy. If they're not busy, then they're probably old and trying to relax (reference to the last picture). In some of my most successful email outreaches, I used a simple 5- sentence structure. (Most of these emails didn't even include my resume.) I start with "I know you're busy and receive a lot of emails, so this will only take 20 seconds to read." This shows you're considerate of their time. If you want to start a longer conversation, you can do that after they respond. Here's the 5-sentence structure I used Sentence #1: Statement of consideration. "I know you're busy so I'll keep this brief" Sentence #2: Introduction. Sentence #3: My experience. Sentence #4: Why I reached out to you specifically. Sentence #5: Proposal/invitation to chat. I first started my email "journey" after hearing this quote from Steve Jobs: "Most people never pick up the phone and call, most people never ask. And that's what separates, sometimes, the people that do things from the people that just dream about them." Since then, cold emailing has genuinely changed my life.
