Email Template
Hi {{first_name}},
Mid-market companies are increasingly the primary target for sophisticated attacks — large enough to hold valuable data, but often without the layered defenses of a Fortune 500. The average breach cost for companies in {{company_name}}'s range now exceeds $3.5 million.
We work with mid-market leadership teams to close that gap. Our platform gives your existing security team the force multiplication they need — automated threat detection, streamlined incident response, and board-ready reporting that takes minutes instead of days.
Is security investment something on your radar for this quarter, {{first_name}}? 2-4% reply rate

Personalization Tips
- Reference their specific industry's recent breach statistics to make the risk concrete
- Mention any board-level governance changes or new compliance mandates they face
- Note if they have been acquiring companies, which creates integration security risks
- Check their public-facing infrastructure for clues about their current security stack
When to Use
When targeting C-level executives at mid-market companies who likely have budget authority but may lack a comprehensive security strategy.
When NOT to Use
When the company has recently completed a major security overhaul or just hired a new CISO — let the new leader settle in first.
