Hey {{contact.first_name}}, I appreciate you submitting.

I reviewed everything, and it looks like you’re still in the early stages. We usually work best with businesses that are a bit more established, or at least at a stage where their offer, target audience, and basic systems are already locked in.

For that reason, I don’t think this is the right fit for us to take on right now. I want to be honest and not overpromise.

Thanks again for reaching out. Feel free to circle back once you have a clearer target audience and a few systems in place so you’re actually ready to handle consistent marketing and incoming leads.
