Before asking for anything, offer value. Share an article relevant to their work. Make an introduction. Provide a thoughtful insight. Congratulate them on achievements. People help those who've helped them. If your first message is asking for a favor, you're doing it wrong. Build goodwill first. The ask comes later, and by then, they'll want to help.
