Why it matters
Growth
Growing companies add sites, people and systems — and choose suppliers for them in the first months.
A good first line: “Congratulations on the new [site / launch] — as you grow, how are you handling [what you offer]?”
Investment & deals
New money or a new owner usually means new plans and a fresh look at suppliers.
A good first line: “Congratulations on the [investment / deal] — is [what you offer] part of the plan for what comes next?”
Contract
A new contract means work to deliver — often with partners they don't have yet.
A good first line: “Congratulations on winning [the contract] — would help with [what you offer] make delivery easier?”
