I'm reaching out because [specific overlap], not because I collect new LinkedIn contacts.

I'm writing because a budget cut, a rebrand, or a channel that stopped converting. I help [type of company] with recovered 19% of paid pipeline after a landing-page follow-up overhaul. Recent example: [result] for [similar team]. If that's irrelevant, ignore this.

If you'd rather I talk to [other role], I can do that.

Best,
[Your Name]
[Your Title]
[Your Company]
