14 years of self employment and I still don't know how to biz dev. Has anyone ever recieved a cold email or linkedin message and not immediately thought "please go away"?

Ah I mean my junk folder has plenty of "maybe we can provide you some exposure services" etc. In early days would reply with "have you even looked at my site?" but now it's straight to junk.
I always feel like they must be scammers or terrible at whatever their job is, because if you ran a legit business you wouldn't need to be cold-calling people you don't know through linkedin
If it's relevant & not an obvious copy/paste, I look. I've been known to reply to one here and there. but don't connect with me just to sell me something. And FFS don't be like the guy, just out of college, who offered to share his industry knowledge. Of the industry I've been in for 25 years.
