MPM Minute: Cold Emails That Get Replies

You want to reach the hiring manager directly.

But you don't have their email.

And even if you did, you don't know what to say.

Here's the exact process that works.

The 5-Step Cold Email Process:

  1. Find a job posting you want using websites like Eluta, Dice

  2. Go to the company’s LinkedIn page —> People —> Search for manager, recruiter, or someone in the role

  3. Use Apollo, Hunter, or Skrapp to find their email in 60 seconds

  4. Pick the right template and send it:

  5. Follow up if you don't hear back [Use this template]

Here's what most people get wrong:

They send one email and wait forever.

Don't do that.

No reply in 3 days? Follow up.

Still nothing after 7 days? Follow up again.

After that? Move on.

Your goal: Get a coffee chat or a referral.

Why is this important? Forbes says referrals increase your chances of getting hired by 60%. Director-level referrals? 90%.

As promised, value in a minute.
