I write cold email sequences that get read, clicked, and answered. My work is built from cold email copy across 4.6M+ sends, 200+ campaigns, and 21 institutional clients. Top campaign analysis shows 80-93% open rates, 7%+ click rates, and 14-25% positive reply rates from highly regulated B2B audiences. Most cold email fails because every follow-up is just a softer version of the first pitch. My approach is different. Each email has a specific persuasion job: - Email 1 creates problem recognition - Email 2 qualifies the right contact - Email 3 gives the prospect a useful tool or insight - Email 4 adds market or business context - Email 5 closes respectfully without sounding desperate That structure comes from tested persuasion principles, then gets refined with step-level campaign data. The goal is not more words. The goal is a campaign where each step earns the next reply. I can help with: - B2B cold email sequences - Existing sequence audits and rewrites - Subject line and CTA strategy - Apollo, Instantly, Smartlead, Lemlist, Mailshake, HubSpot, and Outreach formatting - Financial services and SEC/FINRA-aware copy - SaaS, agency, professional services, recruiting, IT/MSP, and local service outbound Important scope note: I own strategy and copy. I do not position myself as a deliverability engineer. If you already have sending infrastructure, I can plug into your system. If you need full-stack setup, I can write the sequence and coordinate with your technical or sending team. If your current outbound is getting ignored, send me the sequence. I can usually tell where the structure is leaking within one read.
