## how to cold call me Look, if you are on this earth then I have love for you. Odds are good that if we interact I'll find something in that interaction of value, but... There are 7 billion people who I would love to share time with, on the other hand, this box, this computer that I'm tied to, I can get frustrated with at it. I get frustrated because it brings me a lot of noise so we need to be smart about this. If I think a computer automated the outreach to me, the relationship is starting off on a bad food and my chance or responding to you or being helpful to you is very very low. Your in this system too, so you get spam. If a robot could have written what you send to me then don't send it. To this end, if you are cold calling or messaging me, please be direct and be human. We are here for a good time, not a long time. If it has anything to do with my work with Pivot Food Investment, email me at [email protected] or leave me a message at 212-727-9707 or better yet find me at or invite me to an event. ## Best way to make contact with me - be human - seriously, I don't care what your job is. Attach a photo an animal you love, make a joke, leave a voicemail, if I don't see that you're human I will mark you as spam - be direct - make clear how you need help - and/or make clear how you can help me / others - make it easy for me to make a decision and take action ## who should not contact me - anyone who should contact someone else first instead (caveat for the young and meek, I believe in you and am happy to help you) - Anyone who asks "do you need your ducts cleaned"... my response will always be "sorry, I got gooses" - anyone contacting me on the behest of an inhuman organization ## List of people I'm super glad cold called me... - folks doing charitable work - can't think of anyone working at a for-profit, but its possible I'm not [[listen]]ing properly - ## Related - [[I will die and this time cannot be wasted]] - [[I am Em]] and [[so we are all god]] - [[Guide to working with me]] - [[Guide to communicating with me]]
