Intro: [Your Name] / [Their Name] on [topic]
Body
Hello [First Name], I'll keep this short so you can decide if a conversation is worth it. In Consulting, that usually shows up as proposals that stall in procurement and relationships that go quiet between projects. Happy to send a 5-line brief before any call so you know what you'd be walking into. Re-open the file with less friction than the original ask. Open to a short intro chat, or should I leave this with [Mutual]? Best, [Your Name] [Your Title] [Your Company]
Questions people ask before they hit send
Match their process. Send the documents they asked for, labeled clearly. Ask what is still missing. Don't try to charm your way past a required form. Procurement replies to completeness, not personality. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.
