What Good DMs Have in Common

SHORT, CASUAL, HUMAN

Read it out loud. Does it sound like something you’d actually say to a

friend?


PERSONALIZED IN THE FIRST SENTENCE

Call out something specific to them:

A post

Their role / company

A recent event (funding, launch, hiring, etc.)

A fun detail (tattoo, location, quote, etc.)



CLEAR WHY-THEM + WHY-NOW

Don’t make them wonder “Why did I get this?”


LOW-FRICTION, CLEAR NEXT STEP

Usually something like:

A specific, easy question

Or an offer to share something genuinely useful (resource,

snapshot, idea)


DIRECT BUT NOT THIRSTY

It’s okay to state what you do and how you can help, just don’t be

weird, needy, or over-eager
