The Three-Part Reactivation

A good reactivation message carries three beats. Reference: one specific memory from your shared past — a project, a lunch, a conversation you remember. Update: one short line from your current life, no self-promotion. Open door: a soft invitation that asks for nothing.

Example: "I still think about that marketing framework you walked me through in 2022 — I used half of it. I am back on the agency side now, running growth at a health-tech startup. Would love to grab 30 minutes sometime if you are up for it."

Three sentences, zero ask. That mix reliably beats the generic "just wanted to catch up" ping.
