A good message to a potential client can win work even when you have little experience. Keep it short, specific and polite.

The simple structure

1. Greeting by name. Find the right person if you can.
2. One personal line. Mention something real about their business.
3. The problem you can solve. Say it in one sentence.
4. Proof. Link a relevant sample or result.
5. A clear next step. Ask a simple question or offer a short call.

Example

Hi Priya, I enjoyed your latest reel about handmade candles. I noticed your captions could reach more people with a few simple hashtags. I help small shops plan a month of posts. Here is a sample I made: [link]. Would you like a free 3-post preview?

Tips

• Keep it under 120 words.
• Avoid copying the same message to everyone.
• Follow up once after 3 to 5 days.
• Never exaggerate your experience.

Expect many messages to go unanswered. Improve your template based on the replies you get.
