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

What metric should I mention to a Construction Marketing Manager?

Lead with win rate on bids, RFI cycle time, and retainage aging. That's the language this buyer already reports. If you can't connect your email to bid follow-up that dies, subs who go dark, and paperwork that lags the jobsite, you're asking them to do the translation work. They won't.

Hi [First Name],

You mentioned [pain]. A short working session is the fastest way to see if we can help.

The version of this that matters for PMs, estimators, and owners who live in change orders and weather is shortened bid-follow-up cycles from 11 days to 4 for a regional GC. If a live call is overkill, I can send a 6-bullet brief and you can mark it up.

Bring a new observation about their world, then offer a small, optional next step.

If you want [colleague] on it, feel free to forward this.

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