Alex Banayan, the author of "The Third Door," shares the email mistakes you want to avoid when reaching to people for the first time. Banayan has successful interviewed business leaders like Bill Gates and Larry Page.
In his quest to uncover how the world’s most successful people launched their careers, which he recounts in his book “The Third Door,” Banayan made a number of cold email blunders.
His first mistake? Sending Ferriss’ assistant a total of 31 messages, some of which were nine paragraphs long.
