Email Template
{{first_name}}, I reached out last week about helping staffing firms like {{company_name}} improve fill rates without adding headcount. I know running a small agency keeps you busy, so I will keep this brief.
Since my last note, I spoke with the founder of a 20-person staffing firm who reduced their average time-to-fill from 38 days to 24 days in one quarter. The change was mostly operational, not expensive.

Personalization Tips
- Reference a specific challenge common to their niche that you have seen other founders solve
- Mention a recent LinkedIn post or company update to show continued interest
- Note any seasonal hiring trends in their vertical that create urgency right now
- If they attended a staffing industry event recently, reference it as a conversation starter
When to Use
Send 3-5 business days after your first email when there has been no response from the agency owner.
When NOT to Use
When they opened the first email multiple times, which may signal interest. In that case, try a different channel like a phone call instead.
