Sample output
Variation 1 — Flattering but specific: Subject: Question about your scaling-by-50 talk
Sara — your line at SaaSCon about "we got to $10M ARR with 3 sales reps" is the most-quoted slide in our team Slack. We're at $2M and stuck. I'm building [product] and would love 15 minutes to ask one question: how did you decide when to hire your 4th rep? Free Tuesday or Thursday next week?
— Mike
Variation 2 — Direct and useful: Subject: Saw the AWS migration post — quick benchmark for you
Sara — read your post on the AWS-to-Hetzner migration. We did the same thing last quarter and saved 78% on infra. Happy to share our exact numbers (DM or call) — figured it might be useful for your next post. No agenda beyond that.
— Mike
Variation 3 — Provocative: Subject: Why your pricing page is leaving $50K/year on the table
Sara — your free tier currently converts at 0.8% based on the public Stripe data. Industry average for your space is 2.4%. I rebuilt three SaaS pricing pages last year and tripled conversion each time. Worth 15 minutes to show you what I'd change?
— Mike
