Day 7: Phone Call ──→ Day 8: Email #3 (Insight)
Day 10: LinkedIn Engage ──→ Day 12: Email #4 (Case Study)
Day 15: Email #5 (Breakup)
RESPONSE BRANCHES:
Positive → Discovery call booking sequence
Objection → Objection handler sequence
"Not Now" → Nurture sequence (30-day follow-up)

Response Handling
Positive Response
{{first_name}}, great to hear from you!
I have {{day}} at {{time}} or {{day}} at {{time}} available.
Here's my calendar if easier: {{link}}
Looking forward to it.
{{sender_name}}
Objection Response
{{first_name}}, appreciate the candid response.
Totally understand {{their_objection}}.
Quick question: {{question_uncovering_real_concern}}
Either way, happy to {{lower_commitment_offer}}.
{{sender_name}}
"Not Now" Response
{{first_name}}, completely understand - timing is everything.
When would be a better time to revisit this?
Happy to reach back out in {{timeframe}} if that works.
{{sender_name}}
"Send More Info" Response
{{first_name}}, happy to share more.
Here's {{one_specific_asset}}: {{link}}
Quick question: What specifically prompted the interest?
That'll help me tailor what I send next.
{{sender_name}}

Anti-Patterns
| Mistake | Why It Fails | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Generic opener | "Hope you're well" ignored | Specific observation |
| Feature dump | They don't care yet | Lead with their pain |
| Multiple CTAs | Confusion, lower response | Single clear ask |
| Long emails | Won't be read on mobile | Under 75 words |
| Same angle each email | No reason to reply | New value per touch |
| No personalization | Feels like spam | Add {{variables}} |
