Greeting, Feeding, Meeting
In one sentenceThe evyAI messaging method: greet with no ask, feed the relationship with value, then ask for a real conversation.
What it means
Most people connect and immediately pitch. Greeting, Feeding, Meeting reverses that. Greeting: a message that asks for nothing ("Thanks for connecting", "Happy birthday", "Loved your post"). Feeding: add value with the The Five I's until you have earned the next step. Meeting: ask directly for a real conversation by phone, video or in person. Email is not a meeting.
Joe Apfelbaum, CEO of evyAI, sums it up: "Pitches get stitches."
How to use it
- Never pitch in the first message.
- Feed several times before asking for a meeting.
- When you ask, be specific: "Open to a 15-minute call this week?"
