Hi [First Name], Applying for the Marketing Manager role. Quick context: • 7 years in B2B marketing, last 3 at [Current Company] • Led the campaign that grew SQLs by 140% in 2024 • Your job post mentioned ABM--that's exactly what I've been building Resume attached.

Micro-Yes Line
“Reply if you'd like to chat.”
Why This Lands Better
- Bullet format is scannable (recruiters skim)
- Quantified achievement (140% SQL growth)
- Connected experience to job post (ABM mention)
- Linked to portfolio--shows, not tells
- Removed generic phrases ("passionate," "ideal candidate")
