In these days of busy people and the dominant methods of electronic communication, self-presentation may be necessary, especially for research or on general reasons.This article has laid out some etiquette and protocol tips to help you connect with others.

Steps

1. 1 Think about why you are introducing yourself. Why are you trying to introduce yourself? Is it to help you raise your status, to gather information, or just to communicate? Whether it's the first or the last, probably the best, the solution is to pause and realize that people are busy and better not be disturbed.
2. 2 Identify the person with whom you need contact. Finding professional contact information is more relevant (and usually easier) than trying to find personal email.
3. 3 Write a short (one paragraph) summary of the nature of your request. Professionally collected information is much more welcome than simple information. Hi. Put yourself in their shoes: why would they contact you and waste time answering?
4. 4 Write a short (one paragraph) resume about yourself so that you have an argument that contact with you will be welcome and interesting to them.
5. 5 Before pressing the button Send, check your letter for typos, politeness and clarity!
6. 6 Wait patiently for an answer; don't take everything too personally or try to get in touch again if the person doesn't answer. Many people have strict personal guidelines for their contact list and prefer to keep it as short as possible.
