Sequence Design

A one-email outreach strategy leaves 80% of your potential replies on the table. Most prospects don't reply to the first email because they're busy, not because they're uninterested. A well-designed sequence captures them across multiple touchpoints without being annoying.

Sequence Design Principles

Each touch must add value or change the angle. A sequence that sends the same email 5 times with different subject lines is spam. Each touch should offer something new: a different perspective, a relevant resource, a new data point, or social proof.

Timing should mimic human behavior. Day 1, Day 4, Day 8, Day 13, Day 18 reads as thoughtful follow-through. Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4 reads as automated harassment.

Channel mix matters. Pure email sequences have lower conversion than email + LinkedIn. Add a LinkedIn connection request after Touch 1. Add a LinkedIn DM as Touch 4 for enterprise accounts. Phone for only the highest-priority accounts (if at all).

The Break-Up Email Is Not Optional

Touch 5 should always be a break-up email. "Last one from me for now — happy to reconnect if timing changes." This email consistently generates the highest reply rate in a 5-touch sequence. Prospects who weren't ready but feel the window closing often reply to say "let's reconnect in [month]" — which is a win.

Post-Sequence Re-engagement

Accounts that completed a sequence without replying aren't dead — they're dormant. Keep them in your Kopimore filter. When they visit again (a return visit 30–60 days after a completed sequence), re-engage with a fresh, shorter sequence. Reference the original outreach briefly: "Reached out a couple months ago — noticed renewed interest and wanted to check back."
