Appreciate your feedback.maxkalehoffFri, 19 Oct 2007 18:51:13 -0000http://www.attentionmax.com/blog/2007/10/a_compelling_pitch_for_my_attention.php#comment-1746223Max, this is a great post. As a PR guy myself, I've adopted a fairly simple rule when reaching out to bloggers: Ask them first if they are interested in getting a "pitch." Of course there's enough info in my introductory e-mail for them to make an informed decision, but it's a couple of sentences at most. <br><br>If they say yes, send them the info. If they say no, move on. <br><br>Why people send unsolicited mail (even the "not blowing smoke up your rear" un-pitch) to people they don't know and assume it won't be received as spam is beyond me.David JonesFri, 19 Oct 2007 12:56:09 -0000
