Hi {{first_name}},
I have been reaching out about security tooling for {{company_name}} and clearly the timing or my pitch has not landed. Totally fine — this is my last email.
If you ever want to geek out about security automation, detection engineering, or just need a second opinion on a tool decision, feel free to hit me up. No agenda, just happy to talk shop.
Cheers, {{first_name}}. 6-9% reply rate

Personalization Tips
- Reference a specific technical topic they might enjoy discussing
- Mention a security podcast or newsletter they might find valuable
- Keep the tone extremely casual and peer-oriented
- Offer to connect on Twitter or LinkedIn for ongoing industry conversations
When to Use
After multiple follow-ups to a hands-on security person at a small company, closing with a peer-to-peer friendly tone.
When NOT to Use
When the IC explicitly asked not to be contacted — respect that boundary completely.
