What you'll learn

Receive Warm Professional Introductions

Secure warm intros by providing forwardable notes and using double opt-in permission to build trust with new contacts.

Craft High-Response Cold Messages

Apply "Them, You, Do" approach to write brief, low-friction messages that build curiosity and shared interests.

Master Application Follow-Up Messages

Use "3 reasons for fit" to draft recruiter & HM notes highlighting relevant experience and similar outcomes.

Send Better Follow-ups and Reconnection Notes

Replace "bumping this" or "just checking in" with new info and relevant context to increase response rates.

Why this topic matters

80% of referrals without outreach are ignored, making effective networking message templates a vital job search strategy. Hiring manager outreach acts as a multiplier for securing PM interviews. Using the "Them, You, Do" framework drives LinkedIn outreach success and secures warm introductions.

I'm a 2x Director of Product and I've grown teams from 0 to 10. For the past year I've taught 100's of PMs how to network at the Product Career Accelerator, where I'm one of the longest running and most recommended coaches. Kellogg MBA.

Owais Siddiqui

3x Product Director. Hired & scaled PM teams. $440M in impact. Harvard Grad.

I’m a 3x Product Director who has led teams at Match and Expedia and driven over $440M in revenue impact. I’ve built and scaled products in competitive, two-sided marketplaces where execution, hiring, and strategy matter. I’ve hired PMs, navigated senior-level searches myself, and mentored product leaders through career transitions. I teach because I believe product careers shouldn’t rely on luck: they should rely on systems. In this course, I share the exact frameworks I’ve used to create leverage in hiring, networking, and product leadership.
