Charm without paperwork is a delay. The hook that earns a look is a renewal, a duplicate vendor, or a missing document that blocks a PO. The ask should stay at this size: the next document or a date for review, not a 'relationship meeting'. Delete trigger: Trying to go around them to the business owner in a way that's obvious.

Body
Hello [First Name], Last ping from me on [topic]. The version of this that matters for managers and directors measured on pipeline, not on how clever the campaign felt is recovered 19% of paid pipeline after a landing-page follow-up overhaul. If the timing is wrong, tell me a month and I'll come back then. If it's a no, that's genuinely fine. Answer the real objection and make internal forwarding easy. If I should talk to someone else, send me a name. Best, [Your Name] [Your Title] [Your Company]
