Cold E-mailing (The Best Skill to Get a Job)

Cold e-mailing is by FAR the most important skill if you don't have a job. If you're at a non-target or have no finance experience, you NEED to play the numbers game and reach out to tons of people in order to get any interviews. I reached out to 300+ people to get my first paid internship as a sophomore.

Make sure your e-mail is concise (5-8 sentences) and professional. Personalize the e-mail and have a specific call to action. Systematically track all of your outreach and remember to follow up with people.

The story of 350 Emails to 1 offer is soooo motivative!

I used this strategy and got an off-cycle Asset Management internship in London!

Wish I had this my freshman year, good video

Love this post on cold emailing! It's such a crucial skill that can really open doors for us in our careers.

Personalizing each email is so important. Well said!

[phuongthaole]

the thing that really bought me was the fact that it'll be hard, hard as hell until you land your first internship, like man, it just spoke to me.

It can be so demoralizing cold emailing people and having a low success rate. These tips can definitely improve the odds of getting responses. Thanks!

I’ve been loving all of these videos, they are very informative and perfect for what I’m looking for! Are there any books you suggest I read if I am interested in getting into investment banking?

[victoriahuffman]

Awesome video, thank you! How do you recommend wording the follow-up email? I want it to sound professional, and desperate/nagging for attention.

[GrowWithWill]

You could see comparable success with 1/2 the words -- have tested and seen great results with at max 5 sentence cold e-mails :)

Just a technical thing but in order to get the chapters to work (as you have the timestamps in the description), you need to start the time codes at 0:00. Like "0:00 - Intro". That should trigger YouTube to add the chapters functionality to the video and make it easier to navigate. Keep up the good videos!

Cold emailing vs LinkedIn messaging? Which is better? I'm debating now. For a position. I'm leaning towards the emails.

Thank you forr sharing the statistocs ! I thought I was the only one with such low response rates ! This actually gives me hope.

[XShollaj]

One of the few truthful channels on youtube. Amazing job, hope you get way more subs!

[tanbirhaque]

God bless you ! Thank you so much for such helpful information.

[mariorosales]

Hey-- Just wanted to say I love your videos. I have watched a couple now and they are all top notch! they have helped me a lot. Well done and keep it going.

[EmilyWash]

Thank you! So helpful.
It all comes down to taking initiative for yourself!

[Neha-eixj]

Hey thanks for the video, it's really helpful, surely gonna try this!

[josefon]

Definitely great content Matt. Congratulations for the job done, it is well appreciated.
I was wondering if you would change the template message for the follow ups.
Thank you for any response in advance.
Best regards from Spain.

Thanks for the video! Since it's the beginning of December, do you recommend sending these emails now, or would it be better to postpone until January?
