Taylor Desseyn argues that asking busy people for short scheduled calls doesn't work. Instead, send genuine direct messages that mix casual conversation with professional language. Inauthentic DMs flood LinkedIn daily, so authenticity stands out.

I used to preach, hey, tell— ask somebody for a 5-minute conversation, 7-minute conversation, 9-minute conversation. Yeah, that— nope, fuck that. People ain't got time for that shit right now, right? So the realness that you can get through the DMs is huge. The amount of inauthentic DMs that I get on a daily basis is insane. The more conversational speak that you can blend in with professional speak, the better, because that means you're approachable.
