01First outreach
Subject: Customer Success Manager with [X] years of experience — quick question
Hi [First name],

I saw you recruit customer success managers and wanted to reach out directly. I'm a customer success manager with [X] years of experience — most recently [one-line highlight, e.g. what you built, led, or improved].

I'm actively looking for my next role and [Company/industry focus] caught my attention. Would you be open to a 15-minute chat this week about anything you're hiring for?

Best,

02Replying to a job posting
Subject: Re: your [Job title] opening — Customer Success Manager interested
Hi [First name],

I came across the [Job title] posting at [Company] and, rather than disappear into the applicant pile, wanted to write to you directly.

Quick fit check: the role asks for [key requirement], and I've spent the past [X] years doing exactly that — [one concrete example with a number if you have one].

I've applied through the portal as well. Happy to share more or walk through my background on a short call. Worth a conversation?

Best,
[Your name]
03Follow-up (no reply after 4–5 days)
Subject: Following up — customer success manager role
Hi [First name],

Just floating my note back to the top of your inbox — I know customer success recruiters get buried.

Still very interested in [Company/the role]. If the timing's wrong or there's a better person to ask, a one-line pointer would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks!
