Questions, answered.
The things people most often want to know about an email from this office.
- Did this email actually come from a person?
- Yes. Each introduction is read, written, signed, and sent by Joe Parker. There's no team behind it and no automated sequence. If the email reads short, that's because it is - written and sent in three sentences.
- Why did this come from you and not someone I already know?
- Because we follow what you're working on in the course of our own, and the people you already know are working from the same view. We're a few rooms over and saw a fit they couldn't.
- How is this paid for?
- It's free for you. The person on the other side pays the office only if it turns into work. So we're paid to make good intros, not more of them.
- How did you find me?
- By paying attention. We follow specific people and businesses in the course of our own work. You weren't pulled from a list.
- Are we on a list?
- No. No lists, no sequences. We follow specific people and businesses and write when there's a real match. If the timing's off, we make a one-line note so we don't write you twice.
- Will my information be passed to the practitioner without my consent?
- No. The intro email comes to you first. Nothing moves forward without your reply.
- Why three sentences?
- Because if the match is real, three sentences is enough. The match, the why, the ask. Padding doesn't make a recommendation more credible - it just takes longer to read.
- What if the timing's wrong?
- Don't reply. We send one short follow-up to confirm the email landed. If you don't respond to that, you don't hear from us again.
- How do I confirm the email is real?
- The signature names the office and links to this site. The booking link routes to a calendar listing the same person's name. Easiest test is to book the call.
- I want to be represented through Oak. How does that work?
- Short conversation if we already know your work. Longer one if we don't - we don't represent people whose work we haven't watched up close.
Still want to confirm? Fifteen minutes is enough.
