    Hi there, 3Hope your week is going amazing!! Quick question — we have 4limited spots available for our Q2 pilot program and 5I wanted to see if you'd be interested. Let me know your thoughts. Would love to get you on the list before spots fill up. Thanks, Dana Adding a bit more context so this is not just a random connect request. We work with Consulting teams that are dealing with proposal creation, margin leakage, and project scoping. The thing we built is a proposal workspace that reuses approved scopes without making every deck from scratch, and one advisory team cut proposal time by 61% across repeat engagements. If any of that sounds remotely relevant, let me know your thoughts. Happy to send more details, compare notes, or point you toward a customer story. If not, no worries at all. Also worth mentioning that we are only opening a few pilot slots this month, and the incentive expires Friday. I realize that sounds salesy, but I did not want you to miss the window if this is already on your roadmap. I have been following what your team is doing for a while and thought your recent work was impressive. Per our earlier thread, or at least the notes I have here, it felt like the timing might be right to reconnect and keep the conversation moving.
