I think your second sentence is the strongest -- it's specific about what you actually help with.

Right now, the title and preview text on mobile probably look like "Quick scheduling question" / "Hi [name], I've followed [company] for...". This looks like a lot of other emails in my inbox that are requesting a meeting time. So I think a lot of people who quickly scan their inbox would pass this by and not even open the full email.

I'd also drop the "re: " part unless it's genuinely a reply. It breaks trust.

Got it. That's fair, I could definitely remove the first sentence. However, I still want the email to seem personal. Do you think it is important to have that personalized part somewhere in the email?

There's no re, I just put that there instead of saying Subject:. Sorry, that's confusing.
