What do people do with "cold call" texts? What's your advice for receiving texts from people who want to talk to you, but maybe you don't know them yet?

Good question. I try to make contact via email or DM on LinkedIn or Twitter. I think the key is making sure that the person you're texting knows it's you that's reaching out, so including some context in your message might also be helpful. Have you ever given or received any cold text messages? How'd you respond?

Needed the reminder about conferences. We're already looking at 2024 😅

You’re welcome! Do you have a strategy for how you select which events to attend?

My boss overshares and it always makes me uncomfortable. Thanks for the tips!
