Template Body

{{firstName}} — first 90 days at {{companyName}}
Hi {{firstName}},

I saw you just stepped into the Plant Manager role at {{companyName}} — congratulations!

Most new Plant Managers we work with in industrial machinery face three immediate pressures:

1. **Unplanned downtime** → Average 14 hours/month @ $200K/hour = $2.8M/year lost, but manual monitoring can't predict 52% of failures
2. **Maintenance inefficiency** → Reactive repairs cost 4x more than preventive schedules, but condition data lives in Excel spreadsheets
3. **Production optimization** → 35% capacity loss from unoptimized sequences, but no real-time visibility into bottlenecks

We helped John Deere's new Plant Manager cut unplanned downtime from 18 hours/month to 3 hours in 90 days, reduce maintenance costs by $240K/year, and boost throughput by 31%.

Can I show you a quick 15-minute walkthrough of how we solve these specific to heavy machinery plants?

// Track trial user activity
async function updateTrialActivity(userId, activityType) {
  const lastActivity = new Date().toISOString();

  // Update local database
  await db.users.update({
    where: { id: userId },
    data: {
      last_activity: lastActivity,
      activity_count: { increment: 1 }
    }
  });

  // Send to Optifai
  await fetch('https://api.optif.ai/v1/signals', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + API_KEY
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      event: 'trial_activity',
      user_id: userId,
      timestamp: lastActivity,

        activity_type: activityType,
        trial_day: calculateTrialDay(userId)
      }
    })
  });
}

// Check for inactive trials (run daily)
async function checkInactiveTrials() {
  const inactiveUsers = await db.users.findMany({
    where: {
      trial_status: 'active',
      last_activity: {
        lt: new Date(Date.now() - 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000) // 7 days ago
      }
    }
  });

  for (const user of inactiveUsers) {
    await fetch('https://api.optif.ai/v1/signals', {
      method: 'POST',

        timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
        metadata: {
          last_active_days: calculateDaysSince(user.last_activity),
          trial_days_remaining: calculateTrialDaysRemaining(user)
        }
