Hi,
I've looked around online and seen so much about querying strategies and techniques, but this is one thing I'm always surprised to find not a ton of information on. I've seen a lot of places say to send out your queries in batches, not just in one big lump. That way if you send a couple batches and get no requests, you know your query might not be working and you can tweak it. Obviously this makes sense.
My question is, do you all prefer to query your top agents first? The downside of this is that if your query isn't working, you've already burned the bridge with your top choices.
Some would say to save your top-choice agents for later, when you know whether your query is working or not. The downside of this is, what if a lower-level or mid-tier agent loves your work and wants to snatch it up? Wouldn't you be left wondering if you should have gone to your top-choice agents and perhaps you missed out on an opportunity?
Some would say to mix it up a little bit and send to some of each to balance it out.
What do you all think? Thanks!
