Let's talk
Briefly: who you are and what it is about. I reply to thoughtful messages within 2 days. If it is about working together, the brief is faster: it carries the context, so the call starts with the work instead of the introductions.
What to write
Who you are, what the company is and what the question is. If it is about a specific task, add two lines: what is happening now and what should happen instead. A message like that shows immediately whether I can help, and the reply comes back specific instead of general. I do not work through messages without specifics: there is nothing to answer.
If it is about working together
Then the brief is faster: 5 minutes, and the call goes straight into the work. A one-off session is 450 euro an hour or 250 euro for half an hour, and I take no more than 2 a week. Mentorship is 2,000 euro a month, working on one project.
Open the briefWhat happens after you send it
The message lands in my Telegram and I read it myself. I reply within 2 days to anything where it is clear who is writing and about what. If there is no reply after a week, the message got lost: send it again on LinkedIn, the link is in the footer.
There is no email address on this site on purpose. An address left in the open collects so much bulk mail within a month that real letters drown in it, and replying on time stops being possible.
What I do not reply to: sales pitches, a proposal to partner with no specifics, and template mailshots. Everything else I read. If I cannot help, I say so plainly, and if I know the right person, I name them. I only make an introduction when I am sure of both sides.
