Message templates you can steal

Short, human messages you can send today, just add the details

These are starting points, not scripts. Keep them short and personal, especially on WhatsApp, where brief and human always wins. Swap the bracketed parts for real details.

First follow-up (after meeting someone)

Hi [Name], great chatting earlier about [topic]. I'd love to help with [their goal]. Want me to put together a few thoughts and send them over this week?

Asking for a referral (after great work)
