Questions people ask before they hit send
You can, gently, if your relationship and industry make that normal. A lot of buyers find it creepy. Safer: reference the topic they likely cared about and ask a question about that topic. Let them keep some privacy. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.
