Hi {{first_name}},
Just circling back on my earlier email. I know things get busy, especially when you are managing HR for a growing team.
One thing I forgot to mention: we also handle all tax filing and year-end reporting automatically. For teams your size, that alone saves most clients a full week of work during Q1.
Would it be helpful to see a quick walkthrough? Happy to keep it to 10 minutes.

Personalization Tips
- Reference an upcoming payroll deadline or tax filing date to create natural urgency
- Mention a specific feature that solves a common pain point for their company size
- Note if they recently posted about HR challenges on LinkedIn or other platforms
- Tie the follow-up to a seasonal HR task like W-2 preparation or benefits renewal
When to Use
Three to five days after the first email to an HR manager at a small business, adding a new value point about tax automation.
When NOT to Use
When the manager has indicated they use an accountant or external bookkeeper for all payroll tax matters.
