    Hey, 3Just one more try — I know I've reached out a few times but I really think there's a fit here. 4As we discussed at the conference, 5maybe we should chat about your current priorities. I promise it'll be worth 15 minutes of your time. I genuinely think we could add value here, and I'd hate to give up without at least getting the chance to walk you through what we've built. If timing is the issue, I'm happy to work around your schedule completely, even early mornings or late evenings. If you'd rather I stop reaching out, just say the word and I'll respectfully bow out. Regards, Alex
