Bud appealed to my ego, saying he liked one of my seminars. That kind of opening would probably get anyone a meeting with me--I like sincere praise. But Bud's final sentence guaranteed a meeting. He said, "I know your time is valuable so please be assured I won't ask for more than 30 minutes." If you assure people you won't waste their time, they will be more inclined to meet with you.

Dear Bill:
Four years ago I attended one of your seminars and your presentation made a distinct impression on me. Your certainty and belief that it is not only possible but practical to pursue work that is fulfilling validated my own convictions. Your success over the years encourages me to seek you out, for the purpose of learning more about the career development field today. As someone who followed your heart and stayed with it, your experience and opinions are very valuable to me.
Like you, my own career frustrations became a motivation for educating myself in the process of career change. Although, for several years, I developed and led a number of successful workshops and consultations, I became frustrated with the financial position. I am presently running my own small promotions business but am interested in returning to the career development field. My purpose is not to look for a job, but to gain more information.
I would like to call you shortly to arrange a meeting. I know that your time is valuable so please be assured I won't ask for more than 30 minutes.
With warm regards,
Bud Inzer
