Re: Dormant Lead at {{companyName}} - next steps
{{firstName}},

I noticed we haven't connected in about 30 days since our dormant lead discussion. I wanted to reach out with some relevant updates.

We recently worked with Volvo Construction on Capital expenditure approval delays, and they saw measurable results within the first quarter. Given Multi-site rollout planning complexity often impacts Industrial Machinery sales teams, I thought this might be worth exploring.

Are you open to a quick sync this week?

Thanks,
[Your Name]

    where: { id: userId },
    data: {
      last_activity: lastActivity,
