Re: Stalled Trial at {{companyName}} - next steps
{{firstName}},

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

We recently worked with Slack on User adoption challenges (30-50% active), and they saw measurable results within the first quarter. Given Integration API complexity often impacts SaaS sales teams, I thought this might be worth exploring.

Are you open to a quick sync this week?

Thanks,
[Your Name]
