How many times should I follow up with a Procurement Officer (after a demo)?

If a mutual offered the intro, send it while their permission is fresh. Same day with the recap. A value bump 3 days later if they went quiet. After that, send a breakup note and archive it. A procurement officer who wants it will answer a clean close more often than a fifth bump.

How do I introduce myself without sounding stiff?

Use one sentence for who you help and one sentence for why now. Skip the origin story. If a mutual is involved, put their name near the top so the email has a human reason to exist. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

Should I include a recording in the demo follow-up?

If you recorded it and they agreed, yes, plus timestamps for the two parts they cared about. A raw 40-minute link with no map is homework. Add the three bullets they'd need to brief a colleague. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

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

Yes if this procurement officer is actually active there and the thread isn't about long attachments. Keep the LinkedIn version even shorter. Don't paste the full email. One context line and one question is plenty. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

What should I never say in a Insurance introduction?

Don't use car-sales energy. This market has a long memory. Trying to go around them to the business owner in a way that's obvious. Don't send a 19-page deck that relitigates features they skipped. Those three mistakes show up constantly in Insurance inboxes and they all read as "this was templated."

What this Procurement Officer actually cares about

A procurement officer in Insurance is protecting policy, vendor risk, and negotiated value. They read for commercial terms, risk, and whether you understand their process. 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.

How Insurance changes the note

Insurance buyers are producers, ops leads, and carrier staff who live in quotes, bindings, and exceptions. Don't give coverage advice you're not licensed for. Be exact, because sloppy language is a professional insult. A credible proof point in this vertical sounds like: lifted renewal conversations started 60 days earlier across a 22-producer shop. Watch the language. Words that land here include appetite, binder, loss run, surplus, renewal, submission. If you cannot name a renewal 90 days out, a lost account, or a new appetite from a carrier, wait until you can.

Body

Hello [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 renewal 90 days out, a lost account, or a new appetite from a carrier. Two reasons this might matter now: [trigger 1] and [trigger 2]. If I'm reading that wrong, tell me.

Given this is after a demo, ask who else needs to see it, or whether a narrower use case is the better start.

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

Best,

[Your Title]
[Your Company]

Questions people ask before they hit send

Name the situation and the business object, not your excitement. Something like "Intro: [Your Name] / [Their Name] on [topic]" outperforms "Just checking in" because a procurement officer can decide from the preview text whether it's worth opening. Keep it under 50 characters when you can.
