Most cold sequences fail for the same reason: they ask for too much, too soon, too often. Here is a three-touch cadence that respects the prospect and still books meetings.
Touch 1: the relevant opener
Lead with a specific observation about the prospect, not about you. One clear reason you are reaching out beats three paragraphs of value props.
Keep the first email under 90 words. If it does not fit on a phone screen, it is too long.
Touch 2: the useful nudge
- Share one concrete resource or proof point.
- Do not simply say "just following up".
- Reference the first email in one line, then add something new.
Touch 3: the graceful close
Give the prospect an easy out. A polite break-up note often earns the reply the first two never did.
Sequences that adapt to replies outperform static templates every time. That is the whole idea behind AttnSetter.
