Read MoreDon’t start your outreach emails with ‘Hello, hope you are well’ Don’t start them with ‘I think I can help you with…’ Are you a medical writer (or any type of freelancer) looking to get more clients? Stop making the mistakes above. I’ve had email outreach campaigns that send hundreds of emails per day all start with ‘Hello, how are you?’ Or ‘Hello, hope you are well’ Time to go back to the drawing board with them! This advice from Hass and Virginia was a real wake up call that forced me to review my outreach emails. Don’t know how to send an outreach email? They’ve got a template for that as well. Another key takeaway for me from the course was that if you’re working in medical writing as healthcare professional - remember that being a healthcare professional helps you stand out. Some of the people applying won’t have any background in healthcare. Use the time you spent on the wards to your advantage, no matter what role you’re applying for.
