Subject Line: Grab a coffee with Davin from Intuit
Hi {first name},
{Personalized greeting/context}. I have a great
opportunity that just fell in my lap and I immediately
thought of you.
This isn’t webinar. We’re extending the invitation to
only ~12 or so folks and you will have an opportunity
to get your questions answered.
Every meet up needs coffee so if you let me know
that you are interested, we will send you a $25
Starbucks gift card after the meeting.
