Build the approach around one personal detail

Research a specific interest of the person you want to reach and shape the whole approach around it, including how it physically arrives. Cross-check directories against community threads to confirm the address before anything is sent.

The method

  1. 01

    Before contacting a hard-to-reach person, research a personal hobby of theirs and build your approach around it so you are not just one more request.

  2. 02

    Deliver the ask through a physical object tied to that hobby rather than as a message they can archive in one click.

  3. 03

    Find a public figure's mailing address by cross-checking free directories against community threads before you send anything.
