— RULES FOR ALL EMAILS —
• Subject lines: under 7 words, no emojis, no "quick question" or "following up"
• Opening line: NOT about us — about THEM (reference their company, role, or a trigger event)
• Body: 3–6 sentences max per email. No walls of text.
• One CTA per email — specific and low-friction
• No attachments in first 3 emails
• Avoid: "I hope this finds you well", "synergy", "leverage", "circle back", "loop in"

EMAIL 1 — THE PERSONALISED COLD OPEN (Day 1)
Subject line: [write 3 options — A/B/C test variants]
• Open with a specific, researched observation about their company or role (LinkedIn post, product launch, job listing, funding round, tech stack, or industry trend)
• Bridge: connect that observation to the problem you solve
• One-liner value proposition
• Soft CTA: make it a yes/no question or a single link — not "let me know your thoughts"
• P.S. line (optional but high-converting): add a social proof or curiosity hook

EMAIL 2 — THE VALUE DROP (Day 3)
• Don't reference Email 1 — start fresh as if they missed it
• Lead with a specific insight, stat, or mini case study relevant to their role
• Frame your product/service as the mechanism behind the insight
• Ask a different question than Email 1

EMAIL 3 — THE OBJECTION DISARM (Day 7)
• Acknowledge the most likely reason they haven't replied (too busy, not a priority, tried something similar)
• Flip that objection into a reason to reply
• Share one specific, quantified result from a customer in their industry or role
• Ultra-low-friction CTA (e.g. "Would it be worth a 15-minute call to see if we're a fit?")

EMAIL 4 — THE DIFFERENT ANGLE (Day 14)
• Try a completely different hook — focus on the outcome/transformation, not the problem
• Use a different format: try a short numbered list (3 bullets max) or a single bold question
• Reference a current market trend or competitor activity that makes your offer more urgent

EMAIL 5 — THE BREAK-UP EMAIL (Day 21)
• Short: 3–4 sentences maximum
• Honest and slightly self-aware — you've reached out a few times, you're closing their file
• Leave the door open without begging
• Optional: include a final value-add (a link to a relevant resource, a free audit, or an insight report) so the last email still gives, not just asks

BONUS: SUBJECT LINE BANK
Write 8 additional subject line options across these styles:
• Curiosity gap (2)
• Direct pain (2)
• Social proof (2)
• Pattern interrupt (2)

FOR EACH EMAIL ALSO PROVIDE:
• Recommended send day and time (with reasoning)
• The 1 metric to watch for that email (open rate, reply rate, click rate)
• One personalisation variable that can be swapped per prospect segment
