Getting an Appointment
How to use cartoons to open doors, build rapport, and spark conversations with decision-makers
Building relationships with decision-makers takes creativity, persistence, and a touch of personality. One of the most effective — and often overlooked — tools for breaking through the noise is humor. Sharing a clever cartoon can disarm tension, show authenticity, and help you stand out from the dozens of other messages in someone’s inbox.
When used thoughtfully, humor is more than just entertainment — it’s a powerful relationship tool. A clever cartoon can do what most emails can’t: make someone feel something. And when you make people smile, they’re far more likely to remember you — and take that meeting.
Below are ideas for how to use humor-driven cartoons strategically to get more appointments and build stronger connections.
How to Use:
Right-click on the cartoon image, click “Copy”, and then paste it directly into your communication (email, LinkedIn message, text, or slide deck).
