Switch styles to previewHi Daniel,
I finished FY25 at 131% of a $3.2M quota, closing the largest deal in my company's history ($820k, 4 years, retail logistics). I saw your recent expansion into European 3PLs and I'd love to bring that same playbook to your enterprise team.
My average deal at Nimbus is $185k with an 87-day cycle, and I built the named-account playbook now used by 11 AEs across the org. I MEDDPICC religiously, I respect the procurement process, and I close with multi-threading not pressure.
Could we find 20 minutes next Tuesday or Thursday morning (CT)? Happy to walk through how I'd open your top-50 named-account list in the first 60 days.
Best,
James Whitfield · james.whitfield@example.com
Writing tips
- Open with last year's quota number, not a polite introduction.
- Reference one recent product launch, earnings call, or funding round.
- Name a comparable deal you closed with size and segment.
- End with a calendar ask — Tuesday/Thursday slots, your time zone.
