Template Body

{{firstName}}, quick win for your first 90 days?
Hi {{firstName}},

Congrats on joining {{companyName}} as COO — exciting time!

I help new operations leaders in industrial machinery find "quick win" projects that deliver ROI in their first quarter. Here's what I've seen work:

**Week 1-4**: Audit operational data visibility
→ Most companies find they're tracking <40% of critical KPIs

**Week 5-8**: Implement real-time monitoring for top 3 cost centers
→ Average finding: $500K-$2M in preventable waste annually

**Week 9-12**: Launch pilot automation for repetitive tasks
→ Typical result: 20-30% time savings for ops team

**Real example**: A Caterpillar supplier's new COO used this playbook. Result after 90 days:
✅ Identified $1.8M in maintenance waste
✅ Reduced emergency repairs by 45%
✅ Board presentation showing clear ROI trajectory

Your situation is likely different, but would a 15-minute call to explore quick wins be helpful?

{{senderName}}

P.S. I can send you the "New COO 90-Day Operations Audit" template if you'd like — no strings attached.

Personalization Tokens:
