So what does everyone say in their "opening" email to a new prospect?? I usually have said something like "I came across your email and thought we might have a few things in common....blah blah blah....if you're interested in getting to know each other write back when you get a chance...blah blah blah....."....I NEED ADVICE!!! I think it's sounds so boring! Help

Take a look at these examples - I'd say this is pretty typical of what I've received.

Mine are along the same lines BUT I always include some specific reference to their profile after mentioning that we might have some things in common.
