What time works best for you?”

Example #2INITIAL MESSAGE

“That sounds great {First Name}. I’m really interested to hear more about the work you’re doing with Big Company. I checked out their website and I liked the concept a lot. 

A call sounds great. I am available at 5:00 PM South African time tomorrow, Monday or Tuesday next week. 

I’ll have my colleague send out a calendar invite for tomorrow in case this time works for you. Definitely feel free to let me know if next week works better.” 

Example #3INITIAL MESSAGE

“Hi {First Name}, your commercial construction focus caught my eye. I can see you’ve done a lot of interesting projects throughout the years. I’m impressed by the work and would be happy to connect to support you however I can.” 

FOLLOW UP MESSAGE

“Great to connect {First Name} and read about your work at Big Company. I appreciate the inspirational quote on your website…it was immensely powerful and hit home with me. 

I’ve checked out a few of your company projects and wanted to learn more. A big part of my focus these days is collaborating with construction companies. I find the work you’re doing to be interesting.

I have a few ideas that may help to increase the bottom line of your company if you’re interested in speaking. 

Let me know if you’re open to connecting, or just having a call in general.”

     >IF YES

“An exploratory call would be a good place to start to learn more about each other's work. 

If you like, I’d love to provide a bit of business strategy for your construction company. Most of my background was spent consulting Fortune 500’s and now focuses on SMB’s, particularly in construction. 

Within 30-60 mins of a chat together you’ll likely have an idea or two that’d double your profit margin. Not exaggerating.”

     >IF YES 

“Looks good {First Name}, especially late morning if you don’t mind, around 11:00 AM CST. 

I’ll send you a calendar invite to {insert their email} and ring you at {insert their number}. 

Please let me know if that works for you.”
