Outreach Sequence Builder

Build signal-triggered, multi-channel outreach sequences that convert. Maps Signal --> Angle --> Channel --> Message --> Objection Pre-emption. Produces ready-to-use sequences in markdown, written to docs/sequences/.

Can reference docs/icp.md for persona and pain-point data, and docs/accounts/*.md for account-level personalization. Works for any B2B product or service.

Methodology

Follow these steps in order. Do not skip steps. Do not produce output until Step 7.

Step 1 -- Context Loading

Check for existing files before asking questions.

1. Read docs/icp.md if it exists. Extract:

   • Target personas (titles, seniority, department)
   • Company profile (size, industry, stage)
   • Pain points (ranked by severity)
   • Language patterns (how prospects describe their problems in their own words)
   • Key differentiators of the product/service

2. Glob docs/accounts/*.md if any exist. Extract:

   • Account names and context
   • Known tech stack, recent news, or specific pain points
   • Any existing relationship context

3. If neither file exists, gather the minimum viable context by asking the user these four questions (all four are required before proceeding):

   • What does your product/service do? (one paragraph)
   • Who are you targeting? (job title, company size, industry)
   • What is the main problem you solve? (from the buyer's perspective)
   • What is your key differentiator? (why you over the alternative)

Do not proceed to Step 2 until context is loaded or gathered.

Step 2 -- Trigger Selection

Present the trigger signal menu and ask the user to select one or more:

The user may select multiple triggers or describe a custom trigger. For custom triggers, map them into the same structure (signal, what it reveals, why it matters now).

Step 3 -- Angle Development

For each selected trigger, develop four components:

1. The Insight -- What does this signal tell you about the prospect's current situation? Be specific. "They raised a Series B" is not an insight. "They raised a Series B and are hiring 4 SDRs, which means they are building outbound from scratch and will hit tooling decisions within 60 days" is an insight.

2. The Bridge -- How does your product connect to what this signal reveals? The bridge must feel inevitable, not forced. The prospect should think "that makes sense" not "nice try."

3. The Opener -- One sentence that proves you did your research. It must reference the specific signal. No generic openers. No "I came across your company and was impressed." The opener must contain a concrete detail only someone paying attention would know.

4. The Ask -- The minimum viable CTA. Not "book a 30-minute demo." Something the prospect can say yes to in under 10 seconds:

   • "Worth a 10-minute look?"
   • "Want me to send the comparison?"
   • "Happy to share how [similar company] handled this -- interested?"
   • "Mind if I send a 2-minute walkthrough?"

Step 4 -- Channel Strategy

For each sequence, define the channel mix from these three channels:

• Email -- Best for: first touch with unknown contacts, detailed value propositions, case study sharing, async communication with busy executives. Strength: space for context. Weakness: crowded inbox.

• LinkedIn -- Best for: warm connections, social proof via mutual connections, content engagement before outreach, connection requests that build familiarity. Strength: profile visibility. Weakness: character limits, connection-gated.

• Phone -- Best for: hot leads where timing matters, time-sensitive signals (fundraise announced today), executives who ignore email, and as a pattern interrupt after email/LinkedIn touches. Strength: real-time conversation. Weakness: hard to reach, requires research on direct dials.

Default cadence guidelines:

• 3 to 5 touchpoints per sequence
• Never exceed 6 touchpoints
• Spread across 2 to 3 channels
• Total sequence duration: 10 to 14 days
• Minimum 2 days between touchpoints (no back-to-back days)
• Vary the channel -- never send the same channel type twice in a row

Step 5 -- Message Writing

For each touchpoint in the sequence, write the complete message.

Per-touchpoint deliverables:

For email touchpoints:

• Subject line (primary)
• Subject line (A/B variant)
• Body (under 100 words -- hard cap)
• CTA (one clear ask)
• Tone note (one sentence on how to deliver this)

For LinkedIn touchpoints:

• Connection note or DM (under 300 characters -- hard cap)
• Tone note

For phone touchpoints:

• Opening line (under 20 words)
• Talk track (3 to 4 bullet points, not a script)
• Voicemail script (under 30 seconds when read aloud)
• Tone note

Writing rules -- apply to every message, no exceptions:

1. The first sentence must be about THEM. Not your company, not your product, not your excitement about reaching out. Them.
2. Reference the specific trigger signal. If the signal is a fundraise, mention the round. If it is a job posting, mention the role. Generic messages fail.
3. No buzzwords. Banned list: synergy, leverage, touch base, circle back, ping, loop in, alignment, move the needle, low-hanging fruit, deep dive, bandwidth, at the end of the day, innovative, cutting-edge, best-in-class, world-class, game-changing, disruptive.
4. No "I hope this email finds you well." No "I hope you are having a great week." No "Happy [day of week]." No pleasantries that waste the first line.
5. Ask a question, do not make a pitch. Questions create engagement. Pitches create delete buttons.
6. Each follow-up must add NEW value. New information, a new angle, a new resource, a new comparison. Never write "just following up" or "bumping this to the top of your inbox" or "wanted to circle back." If you have nothing new to add, do not send the message.
7. Objection pre-emption: weave responses to the most likely objection into the message naturally. Do not wait for them to object.
8. Every message must be READY TO SEND. No placeholder brackets like [Company Name] or [Pain Point]. Fill in everything from the loaded context. The only acceptable variable is the prospect's first name, written as {{first_name}}.

Step 6 -- Objection Pre-emption

For each sequence, identify 3 to 4 likely objections and define how to address them within the messages:
