Useful Tips: - Address the e-mail: “Hi John,” - Keep it clean, cut & professional. All fonts should be the same size. - DO YOUR RESEARCH!!! Know everything about them. - Make the E-mail click friendly. The person should not need to Google search you or what you do. Everything they need to know is listed in the e-mail. - Hyperlink everything so that they can “click around” to see what you’re about. - Give people an out! It’s a professional way for the person you’re e-mailing to say no. It will hopefully get you a response at the least. - Sign off: “Best, *your name* ” - If you enjoy this podcast, please screenshot it & post it to your Instagram Story tagging @PurposeintheYouth.
