“Hey Jim! As you know, I’ve been following your content here on LinkedIn for several weeks now. I’ve learned a ton from you, especially [Specific Thing #1] and [Specific Thing #2].
I’m looking to make the jump into tech sales from a non-traditional background, similar to the transition you made. If you’re up for it, I’d love to ask you a few questions about your journey — phone or email are both great.
I know this is a big ask so no pressure if it’s too much right now. Either way, excited to keep supporting your work.”
