Mentorship / advice-seeking sequence

Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — people I want a genuine, no-strings reason to reach out to.

For each, open on a specific milestone ({{trigger_eg_new_role_funding_launch_award_or_a_published_piece}}), add one line of earned praise tied to a concrete project or contribution of theirs, and close warm. Default to no ask — this is goodwill, not conversion; at most a light, optional "catch up sometime?" where a relationship is worth reopening.

Put {{first_name}} in the subject. Verify addresses, then build it in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's congratulations templates: "saw the news" → specific earned praise → warm close, four of six with NO CTA. Real lines: "Given the work you led on [[specific project]], this makes complete sense.", subject "Congratulations, {{first_name}}: long overdue catch-up?"

I want to warm up dormant contacts.

Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — people I've lost touch with.

For each, reopen with one specific pretext (an external trigger, a mutual connection surfacing their name, or their own recent content — {{trigger}}), drop a one-line update on me to signal reciprocity before asking, and invite a low-pressure catch-up. Keep every draft distinct.

Some can carry no ask at all ("No agenda. Just wanted to reconnect."); others a hedged "quick call in the next couple of weeks?" Re-verify addresses first, since contacts move. Build it in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's reconnecting templates: trigger/acknowledged gap → reciprocal self-update → soft or implicit ask. Real lines: "{{first_name}}: thought of you when I saw [[trigger]]", "I was catching up with [[mutual connection]] recently and your name came up."

I'm {{your_name}}, a {{year_and_program}} at {{school}} with {{skill_area}}.

Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — companies and managers I'd intern for.

For each, ground the pitch in their real product or work, lead with a specific project idea or a most-relevant accomplishment (not vague enthusiasm), state my credentials briefly, and ask for a short conversation — with a graceful out.

Use a humble opener where I don't know if they're hiring interns. Draft a 2-touch sequence. Verify addresses, then build it in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's internship templates: hook (referral/trigger/humble) → credentials → specific project mapped to their work → soft conversation ask. Real line: "I've been studying [[company]]'s [[public work]] and I have a concrete idea for how I could contribute as an intern."
