Hey {{first_name}},

I came across your medium post about how yoga and meditation has helped you in your creative process. I am thoroughly impressed with your commitment to design and your out of the box thought process. Your work at {{company}} is really impressive.

One of our clients is a trailblazing startup in NYC. As they’ve grown to more than 50 people in just two years, they are looking for someone to lead their design efforts. This is a leadership position where you would get to define their design roadmap for many years to come.

I think this would be a great role for you. Would you be interested in having a brief chat about it sometime this week?

Best,

Hi {{company}},

Just saw your Instagram videos of your last skiing trip. I am quite impressed with your skiing skills! How long have you been skiing? I have taken it up last year and can’t wait to glide over the snow the way you do.

I recently stumbled on your blog about creating engaging sales emails with GIFs and visual elements to get better responses. I have to say – absolutely loved it. I have been using GIFs (cause who doesn’t love them) in my emails and getting incredible results. Your efforts must have led to tremendous results at {{company}}.

I am currently recruiting imaginative and bold sales folks like you for our client. We think you’ve got a way of doing sales that can sway a maybe to a Yes! We are working to build a sales team of people like you – not afraid to experiment and deliver results. Would you be interested in a 15 min chat this week?

Hey {{first_name}},

I hope this email finds you well. We had reached out a while back regarding opportunities with a well-known technology company. Obviously things continue to go well at [[company name]], but your name resurfaced in regards to a specific opportunity in which I thought might be of interest.

They have a strong track record with candidates that come from a similar background. I thought it made sense to reconnect given the specific nature of the search as we approach bonus season.

If you are interested in a chat to learn more, please let me know when would be a convenient time for you. Thank you again for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.
