Networking
Should I suggest a meeting time in my first networking message?
When I reach out to a consultant on LinkedIn, should I immediately propose a few times for a call, or is that too forward before they've even agreed to speak? I want the message to be efficient without sounding demanding.

Please don't suggest a day/time or explicity ask for a call. It's overly forward/assuming and gets you off on the wrong foot!Just tell them you have a number of questions and would like to learn about their journey (tailor it).Let them propose the call!
