Follow-up steps

  1. 1

    Tighten it

    The first pass is always too long. Length is the single biggest driver of reply rate on cold email, so cut before you polish.

    step 1
    Cut the draft to 70 words without losing the trigger or the ask. Show only the new version.
  2. 2

    Write three subject lines

    Subject lines written after the body match the actual content instead of promising something the email does not deliver.

    step 2
    Give three subject lines under 6 words: one literal, one curiosity, one referencing the trigger. No colons, no title case.
  3. 3

    Write the follow-up

    Most replies come from the follow-up. Generating it in the same session keeps voice and context consistent.

    step 3
    Write the day-4 follow-up. It must add one new piece of value and must not say "just bumping this".
