Outreach Message

Q: How do I know the Outreach Message output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: Opens with a specific, genuine reason for contacting *this* person — not a template hook; Short and skimmable; respects the channel's length norms; Exactly one clear, low-friction ask; Gives the recipient an easy, graceful way to decline.

Write cold outreach and networking messages that actually get replies.

What to give it

▸Who you're messaging — name, role, and your relationship (cold, 2nd-degree, alum, met-once).

▸The ask — referral, intro, coffee chat / advice, recruiter follow-up, or reconnect.

▸The context — the role/company you're targeting, and a genuine, specific reason you're reaching out to *them*.

▸Your background — one or two lines of relevant credibility.

▸Channel — LinkedIn connection note (≤300 chars), LinkedIn DM, or email.

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓Opens with a specific, genuine reason for contacting *this* person — not a template hook

✓Short and skimmable; respects the channel's length norms

✓Exactly one clear, low-friction ask

✓Gives the recipient an easy, graceful way to decline

✓Sounds like a person, with a credibility line — not a résumé dump

✓Includes a polite follow-up for no-reply

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Do not write a long message — every extra sentence lowers the reply rate

Do not make it about you — lead with why *them*, then a tight credibility line

Do not use a generic hook ("I came across your profile") — it signals a mass blast

Do not stack multiple asks — one easy request, or none will be answered

Do not be pushy in the follow-up — one graceful nudge, then stop
