How do I introduce myself without sounding stiff?

Use one sentence for who you help and one sentence for why now. Skip the origin story. If a mutual is involved, put their name near the top so the email has a human reason to exist. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

Is it weird to email someone after six months of silence?

Not if you have a new reason and you don't pretend the old thread is still warm. Lead with the trigger, remind them who you are in one line, and make the ask optional. Nostalgia without news is just another cold email with extra steps.

Is it okay to send this introduction on LinkedIn instead of email?

Yes if this marketing manager is actually active there and the thread isn't about long attachments. Keep the LinkedIn version even shorter. Don't paste the full email. One context line and one question is plenty. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

What should I never say in a Real Estate introduction?

Don't joke about 'winning the deal.' It sounds like a seminar. Offering to 'hop on a quick call to explore synergies.' Don't open with 'it's been a while' and then paste the old pitch. Those three mistakes show up constantly in Real Estate inboxes and they all read as "this was templated."

How soon should I follow up after a showing?

Same day, while they still remember the hallway that felt small and the light in the kitchen. Waiting until the next afternoon lets the next agent write the story of the house. Keep it specific to the property, not a general 'just checking in.'

What this Marketing Manager actually cares about

Subject

Intro: [Your Name] / [Their Name] on [topic]

Body

Hi [First Name],

I'll keep this short so you can decide if a conversation is worth it.

I'm writing because a price cut, a listing anniversary, or a rate move that changes buyer math. Happy to send a 5-line brief before any call so you know what you'd be walking into.

Re-earn a conversation, not restart a stale sequence at email 4.

No pressure either way. I know unsolicited intros can be noise.

Best,
[Your Name]
[Your Title]
[Your Company]
