If she calls I'd emphasize the following:
1. She's trying to listen to and learn from people who don't normally engage in DC policymaking. She can learn a lot from the people he is bringing into these discussions, so thank you. 
2. She is sick of the chronic short-termism that chararacterizes too much of business and government. If elected, she's working for America's long-term interests. (This is big with him)
3. She greatly appreciates whatever he can do to get her elected. Fred has been allergic to partisan politics but if she draws him out it produces a 7 figure return. Fred's a billionaire who plays big in business but has never played big in national politics. This is his chance to get behind something where he is listened to, taken seriously and the outcomes matter.
