Want to land a referral at your dream company?
But struggling to stand out in this crowded market?

It worked on me, and I had to share it.

Please donāt do this. I get these all the time, and they don't work!
Why? Because thereās zero value.

An example DM that actually worked

Why it works
Adds enough context: āIāve already applied; blurb below.ā
Specific low-lift ask: āFlag my name to the hiring manager/recruiter.ā
Highlighted their value in TLDR: See blurb (4 lines)
It gave me an out: āThanks for considering.ā
See the difference?

š„ Reviews:
āI researched many other coaches, but when I met Jean, I knew her strategic approach would help me land a program manager role.ā
āAll modules have communicated a wealth of info, making me feel confident in overcoming my shortcomings by strategically addressing my gaps.ā
āProgram Management is not sexy, but Jean makes it fun and engaging. Her content was straight to the point and based on real-world scenarios. I didnāt think I had PM skills, but now I'm 100% certain that PM is my future path.ā
āJean is truly a PM wizard, a rare and amazing coach who helped clarify my vision and goals. She is very personable, relatable, honest, and approachable, all the best signs of a great coachā
