“I’m sure you get calls from recruiters all the time . . . “

By using this line, you can break the ice and let them know that you know they get called all the time. This is a respectful, tactful way to let them know you appreciate their situation (heavily recruited) and that you DON’T want to bug them, but . . . you DO want to talk to them about an opportunity and/or to network!

Hi John:

My name is David Szary. I am sure you get calls from recruiters all the time but I have an excellent opportunity . . . . (continue with some type of Attention Grabber . . . )

Not so heavily recruited professionals:

This line is GREAT with these folks. Since they don’t get calls from recruiters, this really gets them thinking . . .

“I don’t get called all the time, I feel left out, I want to be wanted . . . so I am going to talk to you and see what opportunities I am missing out on.�

Give it a try!
