When to Use

  • Cold Outbound Ideation: Drafting initial emails and subject lines.

  • Sequence Building: Creating follow-up sequences that rotate value propositions.
  • QA & Optimization: Reviewing drafts against a strict rubric before sending.

    • Framework

    1. Message Market Fit > Cleverness: Show you understand the person/company immediately. 2. Research IS the Personalization: Custom signals prove you did your homework. 3. Personalization in the First Line: Use bracketed variables {{...}} or whole-offer strategy. 4. Tight, Conversational Copy: Plain text, minimal fluff, 60–120 words. 5. One Job Per Email: Single sharp question or CTA. 6. Earn Replies, Not Just Meetings: Confirm situation before selling.
