Lesson 9: Connect with context

Cold invitations often go ignored. Shamane walks you through a warmer path: engage with someone’s posts over time, then connect and message while referencing what they shared. That context triggers their memory and makes them far more likely to accept and reply. It takes research and patience, but it builds relationships rather than transactions.

You will also learn where AI fits. Use it to brainstorm angles and spot blind spots, then add your own voice and market knowledge. Shamane closes with advice for your own posts: put the main message in the first line, because busy executives often read nothing past it.

Reflection Activity / Action Item: Pick one person you have interacted with in comments. Draft a connection request and a short follow-up message that reference something specific they posted.
