How to use it:

Context + Bump

This email should be one to three sentences. First, ask if your reader had thoughts on your previous message. Explain you’re curious because of the original reason you reached out. End with a simple question.

Example:

Hey George,

Given that you’re growing the sales team, I thought this would be worth discussing.

Did you have any feedback on my note?

Will

Why it works:

With this framework, you’re still seeking to start a conversation. You’re being thoughtful by providing context for why you are reaching out. You’re showing you’ve considered their time and value their attention by asking a casual question in this “bump” format.

Genuine curiosity can both hook the reader and ensure you’re being human in your approach.
