Messaging Tips and Etiquette

Great messages are specific, respectful, and show genuine curiosity. Reference something from the person's deck to show you actually read it. Ask open-ended questions that invite real conversation.

Avoid sending multiple follow-up messages if someone has not responded. Give people time and space to reply on their own schedule. If someone is not interested, respect their silence and move on.

Keep your tone warm and authentic. Humor is great when it comes naturally, but avoid sarcasm or anything that could be misread in text. Remember that the person on the other end is a real human looking for a real connection.
