This is a solid, low-pressure way to pitch a case study. It kicks off with a personal note and quickly builds trust with a quick win or proof point. The differentiator here is that you’re an expert who’s done the thing and has real results to back it up. Framing it as something genuinely useful for their readers (not self-promotional) makes it easier to say yes. The outline helps them picture the piece without guessing. Short, clear, and focused on value—that’s what gets responses.
