---

Template A: Direct Approach

Best for: KOLs already posting about DePIN, RWA, or Solana projects

Hey [name] - building T420, a DePIN project for community-owned robotaxi fleets on Solana.

We're in presale and looking for partners. Offering 500k tokens ($2,500 presale value) for a promo thread.

FleetOS (our coordination platform) is in testing. Real product, real roadmap.

Interested? Can send deck or hop on a quick call.

Variables to customize:

• [name] - Their display name or handle

---

Template B: Value-First Approach

Best for: Building initial rapport, KOLs who might be skeptical

[name] - love your content on [specific recent post].

Building something in the DePIN space you might find interesting - community-owned robotaxi fleets tokenized on Solana.

Not asking for anything yet - just wanted to share: learn.t420.io

If it resonates, happy to discuss a partnership. We're doing token-based collabs with aligned voices.

Variables to customize:

• [name] - Their display name or handle

• [specific recent post] - Reference something they actually posted recently (shows you did research)

---

Template C: Exclusive Angle

Best for: Higher-follower accounts, creating urgency

Hey - reaching out to 10 DePIN-focused accounts about early partnership on T420.

We're tokenizing robotaxi fleet ownership on Solana. Presale is live, FleetOS in testing.

Offering early partners 500k tokens + advisory allocation for promotional support.

Follow-Up Template (24-48 hours after initial DM)

Hey - just following up. Happy to answer any questions or send over more details. No pressure either way.

Partnership Details Template (After Interest Expressed)

Great! Here's the offer:

- 500,000 T420 tokens (worth $2,500 at presale price)
- Tokens vest over 6 months (same as other presale investors)
- You post: 1 thread (8+ tweets) + pin for 48 hours
- We provide: talking points, images, key stats

We'll send tokens to your Solana wallet after post goes live.

If you want to negotiate (more tokens for longer pin, etc.) I'm open.

Wallet ready? I can send over the content kit.

---

Closing Template (After Agreement)

Perfect. Sending over the content kit now.

Key links:
- Portal (buy tokens): portal.t420.io
- Learn more: learn.t420.io
- Twitter: @t420_io

Once your thread is live and pinned, send me your Solana wallet address and I'll transfer the tokens within 24 hours.

Thanks for believing in the vision. Let's make some noise.

Negotiation Variations

If they want more tokens:

I hear you. How about 750k tokens for:
- Thread (10+ tweets)
- Pinned for 72 hours
- One follow-up engagement tweet after 48 hours

That gets you $3,750 presale value, potential $37.5k+ at launch.

If they want cash + tokens:

We're bootstrapping right now so cash is tight. What I can do:

Option A: 750k tokens ($3,750 value) for full promo
Option B: 300k tokens + first right to any paid campaigns once we close seed round

The upside play is tokens - if we hit launch price, 500k tokens = $25k+

If they want to see traction first:

Totally fair. Here's where we are:

- FleetOS (coordination platform) in beta with early users
- Portal live at portal.t420.io accepting USDT/USDC/SOL
- Presale price: $0.005 (launch target: $0.05)
- First KOL partnerships going out this week

Happy to add you to our launch list - when we hit [milestone], I'll reach back out. No pressure.

Pro Tips

1. Personalize every DM - Even small touches (mentioning recent post) dramatically improve response rates

2. Send during their active hours - Check when they typically post, DM within that window

3. Don't spam - Space out DMs (not 50 in an hour). Twitter may restrict your account

4. Engage first - Like/retweet a few of their posts before DMing

5. Be human - These are real people. Authenticity > scripts

6. Track everything - Update the CSV immediately after every interaction
