Hi Kyle,

A lot of people ask me if a something partnership will work for them. The short answer is yes. A partnership

with something is a direct line into a community of 300,000 product managers. In fact, one out of every five

product leaders is a member of our community.

As a marketing leader, how would you like to speed up our sales velocity by 29%, increase your leads by 40%

and 10X your ROI? Check out how our team at something helped Amplitude do just that in this case study.

Are you free on Wednesday morning for a quick chat? Or, use my Calendly.

Best,

Hello Kyle,

I just wanted to follow up to see what you thought about something data and how to

identify the In-Market accounts using the same.

I’d love the opportunity to tell you a few of my ideas over a 15-minute call. Are you free

next Thursday? If so, feel free to book some time on my calendar: Calendar Link

I would love to share our something Datasheet for a Friday read.

Have a good weekend and hope to talk to you next week.
