Hi {{first_name}},
I wanted to follow up on my previous note. I know running a small studio means your time is stretched thin across design work, client management, and keeping the business side healthy.
Since I last reached out, I spoke with the founder of a 12-person residential architecture firm who told me their biggest regret was not building a systematic outreach process sooner. They spent years relying on word-of-mouth alone and realized they were leaving significant revenue on the table.
Would a 10-minute call be worth your time to explore whether something similar could help {{company_name}}? 6-10% reply rate
