Channel-Specific Guidelines
Email: Keep under 125 words. Personalize the first line. Vary subject lines. Send between 8-10 AM in their timezone.
Phone: Call between 10-11:30 AM or 1:30-3 PM. Prepare a 30-second pitch. Always leave a voicemail referencing your email.
LinkedIn: Only engage authentically — forced interactions are obvious. Comment on posts before pitching. Keep messages conversational.
Cadence Variations by Segment
Enterprise (1000+ employees): Extend to 28 days. Add 3 more touches. Include direct mail for key accounts.
Mid-Market (100-999 employees): Use the standard 18-day cadence above.
SMB (under 100 employees): Compress to 12 days. Reduce to 7-8 total touches. Prioritize email and LinkedIn over phone.
Metrics to Track
- Touches per meeting booked (target: 15-20)
- Best-performing channel by reply rate
- Optimal time of day for each channel
- Drop-off point in the sequence (where do prospects engage?)
