Outbounding for jobs

What approach have you used when you have reached out to other companies to get hired?

Assuming you are reaching directly to Sales Vps and CEOs through LinkedIn or email .Which approach would you take and why? Or would you take another approach? And why.

Your message would say something like:

Attached poll

Hire me because I am good at X, Y and Z and no one else at your team is Hire me because I have a proven track record of X, Y and Z. Skills that you need. Build a business case and a growth plan and send it to the company rep. "I am happy to chat further if you guys need help with your sales efforts" Other (Tell us what)

*Voting in this poll no longer yields commission.

I would never tell anybody that I'm better than their team. Strike any version of #1 that you have. It comes across as arrogant.

Look around to see if the VP, director has liked any particular content or complained about something, directly use that in outreach to them and how I might be able to help. Usually at least gets a response
