How to use it
- Use the person's correct name and mention one real connection to their work.
- Ask one answerable question or request a brief conversation; make it easy for them to decline.
- Do not imply you know the person or have a referral if you do not.
- If they reply, respect their time and follow up with a specific thank-you.
