    Hi there, 2I came across your profile and was blown away by your experience in Insurance! 15 minutes this week? Best, Sam I should also mention that our claims automation platform integrates with every major platform in the Insurance space. We've been at this for over 8 years and our team of 200+ engineers has built something truly special. Last quarter alone, we onboarded 47 new enterprise clients and our retention rate is 97.3%. I could go on, but I think the numbers speak for themselves. We've also been featured in Forbes, TechCrunch, and The Wall Street Journal. Our CEO was named to the Inc. 30 Under 30 list three years running. We're also SOC 2 certified, HIPAA compliant, GDPR ready, and ISO 27001 certified. I know that's a lot, but I want you to know we take this seriously. Always open to swapping notes with operators in adjacent spaces. I'm also happy to make intros if there's anyone in my network who could be useful to you. Drop a time that works and we'll find something on the calendar. A few quick proof points: we're SOC 2 Type II certified, used by teams at Snowflake and Vercel, and integrate natively with whatever stack you're running. The pilot includes a dedicated solutions engineer and a tailored implementation plan, so you'd see results inside two weeks. Let me know which day next week works and I'll send over a calendar invite. We've put together a comprehensive resource hub specifically tailored for leaders in your vertical, covering everything from change management to learner engagement to ROI measurement frameworks. Several of your peers at competing institutions have already requested access and the early feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Happy to grant you complimentary premium access if you'd like to take a look. P.S. I also wanted to make sure you saw our latest customer story featuring a 10x increase in qualified pipeline in under 60 days. The full case study is gated but I can send you a private link if you reply to this thread. P.P.S. If now isn't the right time, no worries, but I'd hate for you to miss the early-bird pricing window closing this Friday. I've gone ahead and put a few holds on my calendar for Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon. Please confirm which slot works best, or have your assistant send over your availability and I'll work around it. We really need to get this conversation locked in before end of week. We're being pretty selective about who we bring into the pilot since the cohort is capped at 12 companies, and a few names you'd recognize have already committed. I'd love for you to be in that group, but I do need to hear back by Friday to hold your spot. Let me know either way so I can plan accordingly. On top of the 50% discount, the first ten companies that sign this quarter also get free white-glove onboarding (normally a $15K engagement) and a dedicated customer success manager for the first year. This pricing will not be available again, so I'd strongly encourage locking it in before the deadline. Grab a slot here: [link]
