Email Template
Hi {{first_name}},
I know HR managers at smaller companies like {{company_name}} often wear multiple hats. Payroll, benefits, onboarding, compliance -- it all lands on your desk. The problem is that manual processes eat up time you could spend on the work that actually moves the needle.
We help HR teams at companies your size automate the repetitive stuff: payroll calculations, tax filings, new hire paperwork, and benefits enrollment. Most of our clients save 10-15 hours per pay period.
Would you be open to a quick chat to see if this could help lighten the load at {{company_name}}? 8-12% reply rate

Personalization Tips
- Mention specific pain points like manual timesheet collection or paper-based onboarding
- Reference their industry to highlight relevant compliance requirements they manage
- Note if they are posting for an HR coordinator role, which signals bandwidth issues
- Reference their current payroll schedule and how automation could simplify it
When to Use
When reaching out to HR managers or office managers who handle payroll alongside other responsibilities at small companies.
When NOT to Use
When the company is too small to have a dedicated HR person and all decisions go through the founder.
