Hi {{first_name}},

First off, I’d like to thank you for mentioning [[brand / product]] within your recent article. We appreciate it!

I noticed within the article that you didn’t link through to our website when you mentioned us. Is there any chance that you can quickly update the post with a link? Here’s the link to save you time searching for it: [[link to homepage / product page]].

Thanks in advance, and if you never need any more info on [[brand / product]] then I’d be happy to supply you with it (imagery, video, content, etc).

Thanks again!

Hi {{first_name}},

It seems like {{company}} has recorded a phenomenal growth over last couple of quarters.

At [[your agency name]], we specialise in recruiting top class sales talent for B2B firms. We’ve recently placed great sales leaders at firms like Salesforce, Oracle, Nutanix. We have a history of identifying top sales talent which has resulted in 98% of our placements hitting their quota in their very first year.

I would love to speak with you to understand your recruiting plans for this quarter and see how we can help you build your A-team. Let me know if you’d be up for a quick chat tomorrow at 5PM?

Kind regards,

Hey {{first_name}},

Haven't heard back yet, so I'm assuming this isn't a priority at the moment.

Please feel free to reach out if that changes. Would love to give you a quick look at the platform and show you what agencies like [[AGENCY 1]] and [[AGENCY 2]] have been able to do for their clients using Cloutly.

Until then, all the best.

Hi {{first_name}},

I’m [[your name]] and I [[state your role]] at [[your company]].

I know you’re busy, and you probably receive plenty of emails asking for the right person to speak to, but I really believe we can help {{company}} [[insert one-sentence pitch – what your solution does]].

Based on your profile at [[link to, or mention profile]], it seems that you might be the right person to speak to—or at least point me to the right person about [[problem your product solves]].

If that’s you, are you open to joining me for a quick 10-minute call on [[time and date]] to discuss how we can support your business? If it’s not you, will you kindly direct me to the right person?

P.S. I’ve also reached out to [[relevant person 1]] and [[relevant person 2]]. We’ve helped companies like [[insert your customers]] to [[positive result you’ve helped achieve]] and I would love to help {{company}} do the same.

Hello Kate and Rohan,

Hope this email finds you both well.

Kate, I'd like to put you in touch with Rohan. Rohan is the founder of Resume Worded, a service that helps jobseekers improve their resumes and LinkedIn profiles. I've worked closely with him at Google and his company is doing great.

Rohan, please meet Kate. He's an investor at RW Ventures.

I hope you're able to find time to meet and will let you both take it from here!

Hey {{first_name}},

I saw that you've had a few great posts from contributors on your site. Just wanted to let you know that I’ve written a lot on [[insert topic here]] and would love to put something together for your blog. Here are some of my past posts in case you’re curious.

[[1. Link to post #1]]
[[2. Link to post #2]]
[[3. Link to post #3]]

Also, I looked through your site and came up with a few topics that I thought you might like.

Do you think any of these topics would be a good fit for your blog?

Thanks in advance!

Hey {{first_name}},

I'm doing some research about how businesses in [[lead's industry]] are acquiring customers, and their primary concern is the difficulty (and expense) of ranking in Google and [[more specific industry pain point]].

Is this something that you're also challenged with at {{company}}?

Some [[lead's industry]] businesses have told me they focus on inbound marketing - things like blogging, ebooks, and webinars - and others have told me they rely strictly on PPC and paid traffic.

If you have a couple of minutes, would you be open to hopping on quick call? I'd be interested to see where {{company}} fits within this spectrum. It shouldn't take more than 10 or so minutes and I can share with you some of the tactics that other businesses like yours have been using to great success

Let me know what works for you!

Cheers,

Hello {{first_name}},

I just wanted to drop you a quick line on behalf of Brian Massey. You are on a shortlist of CRO experts he'd like to feature in an upcoming piece for ConversionSciences.com.
