Hi {{first_name}},
I appreciate you being direct about your concerns. Budget constraints are real, especially for a team the size of {{company_name}} where every dollar needs to pull double duty.
The reason I think it is still worth a conversation is that the companies we work with at your stage typically see the investment pay for itself within one renewal cycle. One founder calculated that a single district contract renewal covered fourteen months of our fees. But I understand that logic only works if you have the cash flow to get there.
Would it help to see our pricing for small teams? We built a tier specifically for companies at your stage because we know the budget reality. 12-16% reply rate

When to Use
