Hi <first name>,
Thank you for sending the connection request. May I ask why you’re looking for connections
within <sector>?
Thanks,
Robert
#4 - Potential Partnership.
Hi <first name>,
Thanks for sending over the connection request. Do you have any <software/marketing> projects
we can help you build/work on? Just guessing that might be one of the reasons why you wanted
to connect.
Thanks,
Robert
#5 - Recommend us forward.
Hi <first name>,
Thanks for sending over the connection request and for your kind words. I’m currently looking for
either interesting software projects I can work on, or ethical businesses I can help grow. Do you

Would also love to know what your interests are. :)
Thanks,
Robert

Hi <first name>,
Thank you so much for sending the connection request. I’ve never met anyone from

know that needs software developed/other.
Thanks,
Robert
#8 - Schedule a call. High potential.
Hi <first name>,
Thank you so much for sending over the connection request. You seem quite an interesting guy.
Maybe we should hop on an introductory call in a few weeks.
Thanks,
Robert

with work.
#11 - Noticed an interest in something. Talk more about it.
Hi <Insert Name>,
I noticed your keen interest in <subject>. Congrats on your work so far.
Wondering what (if any?) are your goals around tech/software/other?
Thanks,
Robert
For ending talks with confirming calls
#1 - Scheduling a call after connections OK.
Beautiful, <Insert Name>. Would you maybe be available on <Weekday>, <Day Number> of
<Month>? I’m free from <Time am/pm> to <Time am/pm>, if that works on your end.
#2 - Call confirmed - Will now send invite to email, if offered
Thanks, <Insert Name>! I’ll send an invite over soon. Hopefully we’ll talk <Insert Date>. :)
#3 - Choosing video call over face to face meet - busy
Let’s start off with an initial call. In general I prefer face to face meetings, however my schedule is
quite hectic at the moment.
Just leave me an email and I can send over a connection request with bridge info.
#4 - Said yes to a call, now we offer TWO possible dates for scheduling. Same Month&Hour.
Wonderful, <Insert Name>! Would you maybe be available on <Weekday>, <Day Number> of
<Month>? Or <Weekday>, <Day Number>? I’m free on both days from<Time am/pm> to <Time
am/pm>, if either work on your end.
Thanks,
Questions from connections about call
#1 - What will we discuss?
Agenda would be:
1. Intros on what each is doing - 5-10 mins
2. Sharing some plans/challenges for 2019 - 5-10 mins
3. Two-way suggestions/brainstorming - 5-10 mins
If that sounds OK as an intro chat, I can schedule a/that call for <Weekday>, on the <Date
Number> at <Time am/pm>.
#2 - What are your business credentials?
I currently own 5 companies in various sectors.
Let me attach a brief CV I put together last year and a short deck from one of the divisions at
<Company>.
Maybe it would be valuable to hop on an intro call so we get to know each other better?
I prefer to have 100 great connections than 1000 people I never speak with.
Thanks,
#4 - What do you do?
Hi <Insert Name>,
I own a few businesses. One of them in marketing, another in software development, yet another
in organic jams. So quite varied. I attached a CV and a small deck on one of my companies. The
short version is: help businesses innovate and grow.
#5 - Explain what you do in regards to software development?
Hi <Insert Name>,
One of the divisions of a company I own (<Insert Name Company>) tackles all aspects of software
development, from ideation and design to delivery and maintenance.
I myself sometimes consult on strategy, feasibility, market fit, UX, etc. Sometimes I’m hired
independently on these fronts, but I prefer to work with my company as then I can guarantee things
will get done well.
Does that answer your question?
Regards,
Robert
#6 - What are you interested in discussing?
I just prefer to have more quality contacts than just connections. So I made it a habit to speak at
least once with interesting people in my network so we get to know each other better.
#7 - What do you use? Why zoom?
"I actually use Zoom conference lines. This way everyone calls into the same line at the
scheduled time and we can chat there. It’s also beneficial in case someone wants to join via their
PC."
