Quick Answer
You’ve already used Origami to build a list of hotels actively hiring Front Office Managers across Western Europe. And here’s the part most guides leave out: Origami has a built-in email sequencer. That means you can take that same list, refine it, write a 3-touch sequence tailored to hotel decision‑makers, and send it—all without exporting a single CSV or logging into another tool. Below, I’ll walk you through exactly how to do that, including the full email copy you can steal.
If you haven’t built your list yet, start with the companion guide: how to build a list of Hotels Hiring Front Office Managers in Western Europe. Then come back here to launch the campaign.
Step 1: Refine and Segment Your List (Even If You Think It’s Ready)
A list of 400 hotels with open Front Office Manager roles isn’t the same as a list of 400 qualified opportunities. Before you send a single email, spend 15 minutes inside Origami cleaning and segmenting. The platform gives you the enriched data you need to do this visually, or you can let its AI agent re‑qualify leads with a single prompt.
What “qualified” looks like for this audience:
- The role is still open and actively being promoted (job posting discovered in the last 30 days).
- The hotel is the right type – for a Front Office Manager, you want properties with 40+ rooms. Boutique hotels with a tiny team often have the GM doing front-office duties; they aren’t real buyers for a dedicated manager hire.
- Location matches your market. Western Europe is broad. If you only serve the DACH region (Germany/Austria/Switzerland), filter by country now. Origami shows location data at the company level, so you can quickly hide rows that don’t fit.
- Decision‑maker context. The hiring manager might be the General Manager, Hotel Director, or Head of HR. Origami often enriches the contact name and title tied to the job listing. If you see nothing but a generic
careers@email, you’ll want to use the AI agent to find a real name before sequencing.
How to refine inside Origami:
Open the prospect list you built following the parent guide. Then use the filtering bar or just type a plain‑English prompt into the agent, like:
“Remove any hotel with fewer than 40 rooms. Keep only postings from the last 4 weeks. If the contact is a generic HR address, find me the General Manager’s name and email instead.”
Within minutes your list shrinks to 80–150 genuinely warm prospects. That’s the sweet spot: enough volume to test, but not so many that you’ll burn through all your credits without learning anything.
Step 2: Create Your 3‑Touch Email Sequence
Now you’re ready to write the sequence. With Origami, you have two options:
- Paste your own templates. You write the messages, pop them into Origami’s sequencer, set the delays between touches, and launch. This is what most people start with—especially if you’ve already tested what works with hoteliers.
- Let the AI agent write it for you. Instead of drafting from scratch, you can ask Origami’s agent to generate a personalized 3‑day email sequence for all your leads automatically. The agent pulls each lead’s profile data—title, company, industry—and crafts messages that feel custom. You can then edit anything you don’t like before sending.
I’ll give you the copy-first approach below so you can paste, tweak, and go. This sequence was built specifically for hotels that are actively hiring a Front Office Manager in Western Europe. It assumes you’re a hospitality recruitment specialist, staffing agency, or service provider that helps hotels fill these roles faster.
The 3‑Touch Sequence (Copy‑and‑Paste)
Touch 1 – Day 1: Opening Cold Email
Subject: Front Office Manager opening at
Preview text: Quick question about your posting
Hi ,
I noticed you’re hiring a Front Office Manager at . I know how critical that role is for guest experience—and how tough it can be to find someone bilingual who can lead a front desk team in Western Europe.
We’ve helped hotels from Barcelona to Berlin fill this exact role in under 14 days, without drowning you in irrelevant CVs. Worth a quick chat to see if we can do the same for you?
Happy to share more.
Touch 2 – Day 3: Follow‑Up with a Case Study
Subject: How a hotel cut FOM hiring time by 60%
Preview text: A 5‑minute case study
Hi ,
Just circling back. Last quarter a 120‑room hotel in Berlin struggled with a 6‑week cycle to hire a Front Office Manager. We placed someone fluent in German, English and French in 9 days—94% 90‑day retention.
I’d love to bring that speed to . Even if you’re only at the exploration stage, I’m happy to share how the process works. Open to a 10‑minute call this week?
Touch 3 – Day 7: Breakup Email
Subject: Closing the loop on your Front Office Manager search
Preview text: One last note
Hi ,
I’ll assume you’re all set for now and won’t keep chasing.
If the hiring process drags or the perfect candidate doesn’t materialise, I’m here. We specialise in hospitality leadership hiring in Western Europe, and we haven’t failed to fill a Front Office Manager role when a hotel gives us a shot.
I’ll leave you be—just reply any time if the timing changes.
Why this sequence works:
- The Day‑1 email acknowledges their exact job posting (personalisation that stands out in a hotel GM’s crowded inbox).
- The Day‑3 message replaces bland “just checking in” with a concrete, relevant outcome from a similar property.
- The Day‑7 close removes pressure, which often triggers a reply like “Actually, we just extended an offer but it fell through—can we talk next Tuesday?”
All the placeholders—, , —will be automatically filled by Origami using the enriched data from your list. You don’t need to edit each message individually.
Step 3: Send the Sequence Directly from Origami
Here’s where most outreach workflows break: you finish the list, export a CSV, upload it to a third‑party sequencer, fight with field mapping, and pray the sync doesn’t fail. With Origami, you never leave the platform.
How the built‑in sequencer works
Inside your prospect list, click Launch Sequence. A clean editor opens where you can:
- Paste your three email templates.
- Set the delay between each touch (Day 1 → Day 3 → Day 7 is standard, but you can choose any cadence).
- Enable automatic personalisation tokens.
- Decide whether to also ask Origami’s agent to write an alternative sequence—useful if you want to A/B test messaging later.
Hit Start, and the sequencer sends the first email to everyone in your refined list. It then automatically triggers follow‑ups based on the delay schedule you configured.
What you see after you launch
- Unified dashboard. Open rates, click‑throughs, and replies surface right alongside the same lead profiles you built earlier. So when a GM responds, you’re not jumping to another tool—you can see their title, hotel size, and even tech‑stack signals while you write back.
- Automatic un‑enrollment. If a lead replies—even with a simple “not interested”—they immediately exit the sequence. No awkward breakup email after they’ve already booked a meeting.
- Prospect context on every interaction. Click a contact’s name and you still see their enriched profile: job posting date, hotel chain, number of rooms. That context helps you personalise your manual replies without digging through notes.
The sequencer itself is free on all paid plans; you only use credits for enriching the leads. So a $29/month plan gives you a full outbound engine: find, enrich, sequence, send, track.
Response rates and what to expect
Cold outreach to hotels hiring Front Office Managers in Western Europe typically sees a 5–10% reply rate when the list is tight and the messaging references the job posting. From that, roughly 1–3% convert into a first meeting. If you’re below 4%, don’t panic—tweak one thing at a time:
- Iterate on the list first. Are you reaching the actual hiring manager? Generic
hr@addresses will crush your reply rate. Use Origami’s agent to find the GM’s direct email. - Then iterate on the subject line. Hoteliers are busy; test a subject that mentions their city or hotel name directly.
- Finally, adjust the offer. If you’re selling recruitment software rather than staffing services, rewrite the Day‑1 email to focus on reducing time‑to‑fill rather than filling the role for them.
Once you’ve dialled in a sequence that works, you can clone it inside Origami and point it at a fresh list in minutes—without rebuilding anything.
