Thank you so much for your time and consideration for this position and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi {{first_name}},

Great article on how to find anyone's email address. Looking at the WHOIS is a great tip.

One of your article links is going to an old domain - metricsparrow.com/toolkit/email-permutator/.

Last week, ahrefs.com switched their email permutator link to us because:
- The copy buttons on the old domain above are broken
- Our permutator has rare, common, and all permutations for ease of use
- We have an email permutation video tutorial + Q & A section
- Our page has been ranked no. 2 by Google for the last few months.

https://polished.app/email-permutator/

Would you be open to linking to us instead?

Hi {{first_name}},

Just wondering: are you interested in receiving our emails in the future? You may be busy as hell for writing a long response, so all you need to do is to send one number:

1 — I am unavailable now, follow up again sometime.
2 — I am not interested in your solutions.
3 — Can I find out more about the offer?

Thank you for your time!

Sincerely

Hi {{first_name}},

My name is David Peterson and I am interested in finding out more about the senior marketing executive position listed on your company website. Your assistant provided me with this email so I could get in touch with you.

I noticed that your company won the Best Marketing Agency award for three years in a row and your name was mentioned in an article regarding your commitment to empathetic leadership. I would love to meet with you because of our shared interest in leading teams to success with the utmost emotional intelligence.

I'd love to schedule a time to discuss my suitability for the senior marketing executive position within the next couple of weeks. I am willing to adapt to your availability, of course. I will follow up with you next week if I haven't received a reply from you before then.

Sincerely,

[[your name]]

Hi {{first_name}},

As we look to 2017 our marketing department has a lot to think about and prioritize. Where to spend their budget? How many events to attend? How can they maximize our existing lead database?

Since so many of the companies we work with are asking themselves the same questions I thought you would appreciate a couple of articles on building on those strategies:

- How Our Team Got Started With Lead Nurturing
- How to Staff a Small Marketing Team to Achieve Stellar Growth
- Achieving Great Marketing Goals

How are you planning to use social media to help you hit your marketing goals this year, {{first_name}}?

Let me know if you're interested in chatting. It'll only take 15 minutes.

Thanks!

Hope all is well,
