Cold Email 4 Sequence

Description

Standard 4-email cold outreach sequence framework. Use when building cold email campaigns, creating outreach sequences, or structuring multi-touch email cadences for B2B prospecting.

What this skill does

1. 1Defines a four-email sequence structure: trigger-based opener, pain/KPI focus, delegation ask, and a clean break-up.
2. 2Specifies send timing (day 3 for email 2, day 14 for email 3 with a new subject line) and word count by seniority.
3. 3Distinguishes BTL (3-4 sentences) from ATL (2-3 sentences) formats so you match length to audience.
4. 4Provides the email structure formula: trigger + assumption + social proof with numbers + open-ended question.

When to use

• You are writing a cold outreach sequence from scratch and need a proven four-touch framework.
• Your current sequence has no follow-up structure and replies drop off after the first email.
• You want to add a delegation email (email 3) to reach the right person when the first contact does not respond.
• You need to adjust an existing sequence for a senior ATL audience and want length and tone guidance.
