[First] — caught [Member]'s AMA on retention in #growth last week. The hot take on D30 metrics was the sharpest thread I've read this month. We have counter-data on segment-vs-cohort that might fuel a follow-up AMA. Happy to bring the dataset and a guest — Q1 fit?

✕ 'Community partnership' subject
Most-blocked phrase. Quote a member thread instead.
✕ Pitching cold without lurking
Community leaders sniff out tourists. Lurk for 2 weeks first.
✕ Calendly in email 1
Reads as transactional. Offer async collab first.
✕ Asking for member access
Tone-deaf. Offer value before asking.
