Networking conduct question: I reached out to someone on LinkedIn who I’d met briefly before, asking for a chat & coffee. She’s replied 2 words “sure, coffee”. What’s the best way to reply again to move it forward? I don’t have her email or calendar or know if she has an EA?

"Great! Would x, y, or Z work for you? If not, let me know a time that suits your schedule best." Give 2-3 times/windows that work for you so she can see if she can match them vs. thinking through times that you may not be able to match. If there's not a clear location you'd meet at, also suggest one you think works for both of you but offer to be flexible

People are busy and just not the best at communicating. Don’t take it personally. Just respond with two scheduled days and times and a location. And give your number.

Yeah, not taking it personally at all. It’s clear she values brevity. I was slightly cringing at my intro email which was too long and cheery in hindsight. Just want to make sure I match her tone. Do I offer her some dates or ask her to open her calendar? Which is least annoying? I guess I want to do it in a few moves as possible?

Suggest you offer a couple of times and a place. If you ask her what works, that would be annoying as then she’d need to check her calendar and write out availability

Wait a week to 10 days and follow up

Response:
Wonderful! That’s very generous.
Please let me know a location and time that works for you.

What’s something a guy has said in a meeting you could never pull off as a woman? I’ll go. One time a guy creative was presenting his work and said “yeah this was just me being lazy and not wanting to do any work” and he literally suggested we do the same ads as last year, with a different celebrity plugged in. CDs in the meeting laughed and considered it for a minute. If I had presented that and said I was being lazy, I would prob be put on the chopping block.
