Should I speak to [[referral name]]?

Hi {{first_name}},

Would you be the right person to connect with regarding lighting & energy management at {{company}}?

This is [[name]], [[position]] at [[company]], a local Nashville company. We consult on energy efficiency and clean energy projects, working to help our clients reduce their utility bills by 10-50%. We like to call it “Total Energy or TotalE.” Do you have a “Total E” strategy?

Have you converted to LED lights? What percentage of your utility and maintenance budget is HVAC? Imagine if you could cut that expense by 30-50%. We’ve helped our clients do such things.

I’d like to set up a quick phone call or meeting to discuss your firm’s “Total E” goals. Thanks for connecting me to the right person.

Best,

[[name]]

Blog post update?

Hey {{first_name}}

I’ve noticed that you are linking to this article on how to find someone's email address in your [[referring_page_url]] blog post.

But I’m afraid that the content you are linking to was originally published in [[year]] and missing some of the effective email lookup strategies.

I just wrote an awesome blog post on a similar topic which is more thorough and up-to-date:

https://hunter.io/blog/how-to-find-someones-email-address/

We analyzed more than 12 million email addresses and added to the blog post some unique data insights that were never published online before.

If you happen to find our content useful, perhaps you would consider linking to it from your article.

Thanks,
Irina

Can you help us achieve our goal of getting 10,000 new people to start composting?

Hi {{first_name}},

My name is Veronica and I'm the founder of Yuzu Magazine, a lifestyle website that focuses on sustainable living.

I've recently come across your article [[URL]] and have a quick question for you.

While reading your article, I noticed that you reference https://learn.eartheasy.com/guides/composting/. I've recently written an in depth piece on how to compost, which I've illustrated with some useful infographics, including one on exactly what you can and can't compost.

If you feel that your readers would benefit from our guide, I was wondering whether you'd be willing to include a link back to our website? Hopefully we can get as many people to start composting as possible, especially during these challenging times!

Here's the link: https://yuzumag.com/how-to-compost/

If you are willing to add the link to your site, it would mean the world to us as we try and achieve our goal of helping 10,000 new people start composting.

Let me know what you think, and keep up the great work :-)

Thanks
Veronica

Looking for [[job name]] in [[job location]]

Hi {{first_name}},

I see that you are currently looking for a [[job name]] in [[job location]].

I am reaching out to see if you have built a pipeline of a-players for the role. At {{company}}, we focus on building top class sales teams for B2B software companies.

We’ve been operating in the space for 6 years and have a combined experience of more than 30 years. As former sales leaders, we understand the space really well. Last quarter, we’ve placed top sales people at companies like Salesforce, Oracle, SAP and many more!

On an average, 98% of the people we place hit their quota and stay with you for 4.1 years average compared to 2.3 years industry average.

I would love to speak with you about how we can help you achieve your sales and recruiting targets. Are you open to speak tomorrow at 2:30PM?

Quick question on {{company}} {{first_name}}

Hey {{first_name}},

As a marketer, you certainly know that:

1- Google has just massively changed its algorithm.

2- The ongoing battle between Facebook and Apple over user privacy will result in ad performance being a bit shaky.

Under such conditions, you can't rely on SEO, social media ads, etc.

As we all know, Irina, the most stable, secure, and profitable form of revenue in your business is OWNED REVENUE.

That's the revenue you make from email marketing.

I recently looked at your email sequences and I’d like (with your permission) to make some suggestions.

Would you like me to send them through? Would you love to know the techniques I use to help my clients have better clickthroughs and increased revenue?

Reply YES to this email and I’ll send my suggestions to you.

Content update?

Hi {{first_name}},

I’m Irina from Hunter. I’m contacting you about your article [[title & URL]]. Great list!

It happens we recently published a [[study|guide]] that exactly dives into [[topic]]. [[Maybe one additional sentence about the content, but keep it very short]].

I think it would be a great addition to the list. Would it be possible to appear there? :)

Best,
Irina

PS. I would be happy to add 1,000 free requests to your Hunter account to thank you for the mention - just let me know the email address you’re using.

I’m an avid marketer and writer looking to get published on the web. Because of how many companies are affected by the enduring nature of COVID-19, I decided to write this article for {{company}} about how to adjust a PPC strategy accordingly. A lot of your readers are probably looking for new ways to adapt to these hard times, and I think this will be a helpful and interesting resource for them.

I know you probably get a ton of guest post applications, but I wanted to take a shot at contributing to your awesome website.

The article is complete and I've included a copy below. Would this be something you'd be interested in?
