Here’s what you can expect from this episode:

Ever wonder why your job applications keep getting ignored, but networking feels awkward and gets you nowhere? Here’s the hard truth… It’s not you—it’s your cold outreach strategy.

In this episode, I’m breaking down five real-life cold messages that landed immediate customer success interviews (across multiple industries!), and I’ll reveal the six powerful elements they all share. You’ll hear how my clients cut through the noise, intrigue hiring managers, and double their interview invites without ever sounding spammy or desperate.

Curious how you can spark actual replies from decision-makers, even if networking feels cringey? I’ll walk you through actionable examples, debunk common cold DM mistakes, and spill the step-by-step framework normally reserved for my private clients. Plus, for the first time ever, I’m opening access to my plug-and-play templates so you can skip the guesswork and hit ‘send’ with confidence.

Tune in, and you’ll walk away with clarity, a bulletproof outreach playbook, and a shortcut to those “let’s schedule an interview” replies. Ready to stop getting ghosted and finally start booking interviews? Hit play now to get the templates, the scripts, and the strategy. The best cold message of your job search is waiting for you on the other side.

Topics covered on five cold messages that landed CS interviews:

How “odd” subject lines get opened and remembered (plus a breakdown of a scroll-stopping subject line)
