Key Template Principles
- Lead with pain not features
- Keep qualification simple (deeper on calls)
- Personalize to person not just company
- Use specific social proof numbers ("47% increase" not "significant improvement")
- Soft CTAs work better ("worth a look?" vs "book a call")
- Multi-channel coordination (email + LinkedIn + ads)
- Humor reduces tension
- Timing matters (new role signals peak at days 14-45)
- Value-first before asking
