And if you don't have a premium account, it's really challenging to ask that perfect thing in the amount of character count that you have to send a, a cold outreach.

Um, when you, when you reach out cold a- and you write out that message for you maybe cut and paste it into LinkedIn, read it back to yourself and imagine you're receiving it as well, and just, and even run it by a friend and say, "Hey, is this, does, how does this sound?" Um, I'm doing it all the time for o- one of my kids who's job hunting right now.
