w/mustafa khundmiri & navigating twitter
guest: mustafa khundmiri, entrepreneur and freelance writer
- treat cold emailing as a prospecting game, not a numbers game, to get better response rates
- focus on researching the right people instead of blasting the same message to thousands of contacts
- stop selling in your first outreach message and focus on starting a real relationship instead
- use twitter to showcase your skills publicly since people can start reading your work from day one
- follow and engage key hiring people on twitter for months before dming them about a job
