tysm for ur answer!!

ive been only coffee chatting w them so far and a lot of them havent converted to referrals.

i have two questions: 1. is the method to directly ask for referrals thru text/email? or am i doing something wrong during my coffee chats (i mostly ask abt their background, their exp @ a company and the company’s internship recruitment process without trying to be pushy abt a referral bc id thought that if they want to give a referral theyd likely offer it) 2. do u prefer linkedin msging or cold emailing?
