When there's been a disconnect with how strategic messaging is landing with key internal stakeholders, I would set up a time to have a conversation. I think taking it off email is critical to getting to the route of any concerns most efficiently. It enables you to discuss your POV, listen to their perspective, and find a middle-ground compromise that works. When possible, have the document open and edit as you discuss. This allows the stakeholder(s) to see their edits in real time and discuss alternative verbiage. The good news is that both parties want to create messaging that is powerful and supports your business objectives.
