I have been following this CMO on LinkedIn. She’s exactly who I want to become professionally. Is it creepy to reach out to her to connect? How should I approach her?

Here’s a sample script: “Hi [name]. Appreciate this message is totally out of the blue. I’m DMing you because you’re a [role] in [company/industry] and that’s a career path I’d like to get on. Do you have any words of wisdom for me around what worked and what didn’t? Maybe even just one small piece of advice? Even if I don’t hear from you, thanks for reading and have a great day.”

If she doesn’t have open messaging on LinkedIn then I recommend sending a connection request with this message: “hello NAME, I’d love the opportunity to connect! - YOURNAME”. 9 times out of 10 they accept. When they do I send my DM within 24 hours and I always start with “thank you for accepting my invite to connect….”

No problem! Happy to help. You can also ask ChatGPT as well. I basically do all my messaging drafts via AI.

I don’t think it’s creepy at all. I would recommend you send her a message saying you admire her and that you would very much appreciate having the opportunity for an informational interview/coffee chat with her to understand her career path and any advice she’d have for you. If she responds, I would be sure to come prepared with all your questions for her and be sure to send her a thank you note post. Good luck and hope you hear back ❤️

What do you like most about her? Make sure you’re into her career path and not the content that is likely ghostwritten for her.
