Is it okay to send this introduction on LinkedIn instead of email?

What metric should I mention to a Healthcare Sales VP?

Lead with no-show rate, door-to-provider time, and denial rate. That's the language this buyer already reports. If you can't connect your email to staffing gaps, prior-auth delays, and tools that create more clicks in the EHR, you're asking them to do the translation work. They won't.

Hi [First Name],

[Mutual] thought we should talk because you're dealing with [pain] and I spend my week on [adjacent work].

I'm writing because a new reporting rule, a system migration, or a hiring freeze in nursing. Two reasons this might matter now: [trigger 1] and [trigger 2]. If I'm reading that wrong, tell me.

Given this is no response, offer a yes, a later, or a stop. Three doors beat one demand.

Open to a short intro chat, or should I leave this with [Mutual]?

Best,
