Questions people ask before they hit send
Don't ask for employee lists, don't dunk on their current tools in public language, and don't pitch surveillance as 'engagement.' Be clear about data handling. HR directors delete anything that smells like it will create a complaint. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.
