Great!

My next suggestion would be to set up a meeting with them in person,
so they can see that you're an actual human who is reasonable and
rational. Then if anything comes up in the future that makes them
hesitate, you'll already have a relationship with them.

(And if you happen to pass a news stand on the way, you could pick up a
copy of Business Week and give it to them, so they can use it to persuade
other people on their side. :)
