Found 3 quick wins for {{company}}'s {{channel}}

Email Body

Hi {{firstName}},

I spent 10 minutes looking at {{company}}'s {{channel}} and found a few things you might want to know:

1. {{finding_1}}
2. {{finding_2}}
3. {{finding_3}}

These are the kind of things our clients fix in week one. Happy to walk through them — takes 15 minutes.

Why it works

Leads with free value (mini-audit). Numbered findings create curiosity. Frames fix as easy.

{{company}} vs. {{competitor}} — saw something interesting

Email Body

Hi {{firstName}},

I was comparing {{company}} to {{competitor}} on {{metric}} and noticed an interesting gap:

{{insight}}

We helped {{similar_client}} close a similar gap — they saw {{result}} in {{timeframe}}.

Worth a quick chat to see if we can do the same?

Why it works

Competitive comparison triggers attention. Shows analytical capability. Proof with metrics.

We just freed up 20 hours/week for {{similar_company}}

Email Body

Hi {{firstName}},

We just automated {{similar_company}}'s {{process}} and freed up 20 hours/week for their team. They were doing it manually — like most companies at your stage.

Curious if {{company}} is still handling {{process}} in-house?

— {{sender}}

Why it works

Specific time savings gets attention. Normalizes the problem. Simple yes/no question.
