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.

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

{{company}} on Google Ads

Hey {{first_name}},

I just saw your ad on Google Ads & I researched a company similar to yours, [[competitor]].

Good news - I found some gaps in their paid ads strategies that you could leverage.

But first, I'm [[your name]] and I help SaaS companies grow with paid ads (increase ROAS while reducing CaC).

First thing I noticed about those guys - is that they have pretty weak ads in general..

To give you a leg up, I'd love to send you our free SaaS CheatSheet for Google Ads - I think you'd find it pretty valuable.

(This contains some of our most favorite ads after doing countless competitor research over the years & spending nearly 8 figures on paid ads).

Do you mind if I share the cheatsheet with you?

Just reply "Yes" & I'll send it over.

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]]

Content update?

Hi {{first_name}},

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

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.
