Ask Is it better to send a short message or a detailed message when you first contact a potential client?

[Edward22]

When reaching out to a potential client, the first message can make a big difference. Some people prefer short messages that go straight to the point, while others believe a detailed message shows more effort and understanding. Both styles have their own benefits, depending on the situation. I feel it depends on how clear the job post is and what the client expects. What do you think works better when trying to get a client's attention for the first time?
