    Concise

    Hi {{firstName}}, We're growing the {{team}} team at {{company}} and your experience scaling teams in {{industry}} is the kind of leadership we're after. Would a short intro call next week be worth your time? Best, {{senderName}}

    Curious

    Hi {{firstName}}, quick question — are you open to hearing about a {{role}} opening at {{company}}? Your experience in {{industry}} lines up well and I'd love to tell you why.

    Warm

    Hi {{firstName}}! I came across your profile and was genuinely impressed by your path in {{industry}}. We have a {{role}} role that might be a strong next step. Open to a quick chat?

    Follow-ups

    Concise

    Hi {{firstName}}, floating this back to the top of your inbox — still think the {{role}} role is worth 15 minutes of your time. Want me to send a few slots?

    Direct

    Hi {{firstName}}, no worries if the timing's off. One thing that tends to land with {{industry}} folks: the team owns {{topic}} end-to-end, no hand-offs. Happy to walk you through it whenever suits.

    Warm

    Hey {{firstName}}, totally understand if now isn't the moment. If it helps, I can send a short overview of the {{role}} role so you have it for later — just say the word.

    Curious

    Hi {{firstName}}, last note from me so I'm not cluttering your inbox — is the {{role}} direction something you'd consider this year, or should I check back down the line?

    Senior
    Concise

    Hi {{firstName}}, Circling back once more. If a {{role}} move isn't on your radar, no problem — but if you know someone strong in {{industry}}, a referral would mean a lot. Thanks, {{senderName}}
