Quick idea for your onboarding email

Hi Maya, I noticed your onboarding flow asks new users to take three steps before they see value. I had one idea that could shorten that path. Would you be open to a quick call next week?

Why it works: It points to a specific workflow, offers one useful idea, and ends with a low-friction ask.

Short note on your outreach

Hi Taylor, I noticed your cold email already has a good angle, but the CTA could be simpler. I can send a tightened version if that would help.
