Hello [First Name],

This isn't a pitch dump. I want to walk through [one decision].

The version of this that matters for brokers, principals, and operators who live on timing, trust, and local proof is lifted showing follow-up replies from 11% to 34% in a 60-listing office. I can do [Day] at [Time] or [Day] at [Time] in your timezone. If neither works, reply with a window and I'll bend.

Which of those two times is less annoying?

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