I agree with Stuart - avoid it. DON'T do it. It's annoying. I get 50-60 email a day. I don't want more, I want less. Opening email priorities go to Clients, Family, close friends - not always in that order... people I don't don't know who are trying to sell me something... they get deleted. Too much competition to get (and keep) my attention.

Start with YOU. Read ANYTHING by Jeffrey Gitomer on Sales. www.gitomer.com

Find a way to get introduced. Know something about THEM before speaking to them. Be interestED, vs interestING.
