Body
Hi [First Name], I don't want to keep landing in your inbox if this isn't useful. The version of this that matters for producers, ops leads, and carrier staff who live in quotes, bindings, and exceptions is lifted renewal conversations started 60 days earlier across a 22-producer shop. If the timing is wrong, tell me a month and I'll come back then. If it's a no, that's genuinely fine.

Questions people ask before they hit send
