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 invoice reminder on LinkedIn instead of email?

Yes if this team lead is actually active there and the thread isn't about payment details. 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 Marketing invoice reminder?

Don't promise virality. It's a tell. CC'ing their skip-level to apply pressure. Don't send a 19-page deck that relitigates features they skipped. Those three mistakes show up constantly in Marketing inboxes and they all read as "this was templated." Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

How do I stand out in a marketing manager's inbox?

Show you looked at a real asset: a landing page, a webinar flow, an ad account symptom. Then ask one informed question. They get a dozen 'let's partner on content' emails a week and delete them on the train. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

How should a invoice reminder to a Marketing Team Lead change for after a demo?

Helpful and specific to what they clicked and asked. They can detect recycled 'growth hacking' copy in one glance. Bring a sharp observation or don't send. The team lead is guarding the team's focus and their own already-split calendar, so the ask should stay at "a 10-minute look or a sandbox, not an executive readout." If you copy a generic
