Hi [CONTACT FIRST NAME],
I know these sales emails can be a little awkward so here's a picture of our company dog, Finnley, standing on a desk to break the ice:

Now that we're old friends, if you had to give your current payroll provider a score between 1 and 10 what would it be?

Things move faster on Gusto. Running payroll takes anywhere between 36 seconds and 10 minutes.
I promise to include another picture of Finnley in my next email.
Looking forward to filling up your inbox with pics of this cute dog,
