stop — do not ask to "jump on a quick call" on a cold DMfor the love of christ, no more of these msgsi) understand that to the people you wanna pitch to, time is moneyso if you wanna take 30 mins of their time on a call, you are basically asking them to pay youand it's even worse than that because of opportunity costii) instead, send a *succinct* message with a clear TL;DR on *traction* and *results* and an extremely clear ask"Mert — sent me your way. I'm building an olive oil farm. we made N $ last month, ...
