Outbound Email Strategy

Description

Builds high-response cold outreach campaigns for B2B sales. Covers ICP definition for outreach, peer-level email writing with personalized hooks, 5-7 touch sequences with role-specific content per email, response scripts for every outcome, and deliverability infrastructure including SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and domain warmup.

What this skill does

1. 1Defines the ICP for outreach — title, company type, pain, trigger, and social proof — and asks five qualifying questions before writing any copy.
2. 2Writes cold emails with peer-level tone, personalized hooks based on LinkedIn activity or company news, and low-friction interest-based CTAs.
3. 3Builds a 5-7 email sequence with role-specific content per touch: introduction, value proof, different angle, social proof, resource share, direct ask, and breakup.
4. 4Scripts response handling for positive, curious, objection, timing, referral, and hard-no replies with SLA targets per response type.
5. 5Sets deliverability infrastructure — SPF, DKIM, DMARC, spam rate thresholds, and domain warmup cadence — before any volume is sent.

When to use

• You need a cold email sequence written for a specific ICP with personalized hooks and a multi-touch cadence.
• Your reply rate is below 3% and you want a structural audit of your subject lines, opening lines, and CTAs.
• You need response scripts for every outcome — positive, skeptical, not now, wrong person — so reps know what to send back.
• You are setting up a new sending domain and need deliverability infrastructure and a warmup plan before sending volume.
