Email Template
Hi {{first_name}},
I reached out last week about helping solar companies like {{company_name}} reduce soft costs as they scale. I know your inbox is busy, so I will keep this short.
Since then, I came across an article about residential solar demand in your region picking up significantly. That kind of growth is great for revenue but can strain operations if the back-office processes do not keep pace.
Would a 10-minute conversation be worth it to see if we can help? Happy to work around your schedule. 6-9% reply rate
