Email Body

{{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 Bosch on Budget cycles locked annually, and they saw measurable results within the first quarter. Given Timing mismatch with plant upgrades often impacts Manufacturing sales teams, I thought this might be worth exploring.

Are you open to a quick sync this week?

Thanks,
[Your Name]
