Hi {{first_name}},
At a company the size of {{company_name}}, security often falls on the shoulders of IT generalists who are already stretched thin. You are likely managing firewalls, endpoints, and compliance — all while keeping the lights on for day-to-day operations.
We built our platform specifically for lean teams like yours. It automates the repetitive monitoring and alerting work, so your team can focus on the incidents that actually matter. Most of our small-business clients save 15+ hours per week on security operations.
I would love to show you how it works in practice. Would a 20-minute walkthrough be useful, {{first_name}}? 5-8% reply rate

Personalization Tips
- Check their LinkedIn to understand the team structure and how many people handle IT and security
- Reference specific compliance requirements for their industry like SOC 2 or HIPAA
- Mention any recent tools or platforms they use that integrate with your solution
- Note if they are remote-first, which adds endpoint security complexity
When to Use
When reaching out to IT managers or security leads at small companies who are clearly managing security alongside other responsibilities.
When NOT to Use
When the company has outsourced security entirely to an MSSP — target the MSSP relationship instead.
