Email Template
Hi {{first_name}},
Following up on my note about changeover reduction. I wanted to share a specific tactic that tends to work well at mid-market manufacturers: video-recording one changeover, then having the team watch it together to separate internal from external setup tasks.
It sounds simple, but operations managers at companies similar to {{company_name}} consistently tell us this single exercise identifies 20-30% of changeover time that can be moved offline. No software or investment required.
Would a short conversation about applying this at {{company_name}} be useful? 6-9% reply rate

Personalization Tips
- Reference the number of product lines they run and implied changeover frequency
- Mention any lean manufacturing language on their website or in team member LinkedIn profiles
- Note specific production challenges common in their industry vertical
- Reference any recent capacity expansion that would make throughput optimization timely
When to Use
Send 4-5 days after the first email to a mid-market operations manager who did not respond.
When NOT to Use
Avoid if the company is a continuous-process manufacturer where SMED concepts don't apply.
