## Definition

多渠道触达序列架构——在 3-4 周内通过 8-12 次触点跨越多个渠道（Email/LinkedIn/Phone/Video）的出站序列，每次触达必须提供新的价值角度。

> "Each touch must add a new value angle. Repeating the same ask with different words is not a sequence — it is nagging."

## Core Architecture

**结构：8-12 次触点 / 3-4 周 / 多渠道变化**

每次触点必须：
1. 使用不同渠道
2. 提供新的信息角度
3. 包含一个软性 CTA（永远不重复同样诉求）

## Channel Selection by Persona

| Persona | Primary | Secondary | Tertiary |
|---------|---------|-----------|----------|
| C-Suite | LinkedIn InMail | Warm intro/referral | Short direct email |
| VP-level | Email | LinkedIn | Phone |
| Director | Email | Phone | LinkedIn |
| Manager/IC | Email | LinkedIn | Video (Loom) |
| Technical buyers | Email (technical content) | Community/Slack | LinkedIn |

## Reference Sequence Template (10 Touches)

```
Touch 1 (Day 1, Email):   Signal-based opening + specific value prop + soft CTA
Touch 2 (Day 3, LinkedIn): Connection request with personalized note (no pitch)
Touch 3 (Day 5, Email):   Share relevant insight/data point tied to their situation
Touch 4 (Day 8, Phone):   Call with voicemail drop referencing email thread
Touch 5 (Day 10, LinkedIn): Engage with their content or share relevant content
Touch 6 (Day 14, Email):   Case study from similar company/situation + clear CTA
Touch 7 (Day 17, Video):  60-second personalized Loom showing something specific to them
Touch 8 (Day 21, Email):  New angle — different pain point or stakeholder perspective
Touch 9 (Day 24, Phone):  Final call attempt
Touch 10 (Day 28, Email): Breakup email — honest, brief, leave the door open
```

## Cold Email Anatomy

### Subject Line
- 3-5 words, lowercase, looks like internal email
- Reference signal or specificity: "re: the new data team"
- Never clickbait, never ALL CAPS, never emoji

### Opening Line (Signal-Based)
```
Bad:  "I hope this email finds you well."
Bad:  "I'm reaching out because [company] helps companies like yours..."
Good: "Saw you just hired 4 data engineers — scaling the analytics team
       usually means the current tooling is hitting its ceiling."
```

### Value Proposition
- One sentence connecting their situation to an outcome they care about
- Use their vocabulary, not your marketing copy
- Specificity beats cleverness: numbers, timeframes, concrete outcomes

### CTA (Single, Clear, Low Friction)
```
Bad:  "Would love to set up a 30-minute call to walk you through a demo"
Good: "Worth a 15-minute conversation to see if this applies to your team?"
Good: "Open to hearing how [similar company] handled this?"
```

## Rules of Sequence Design

1. **Never send without a reason the buyer should care right now**
2. **If you cannot articulate why you are contacting this specific person at this specific company at this specific moment, you are not ready to send**
3. **Do not automate what should be personal, and do not personalize what should be automated**
4. **Test one variable at a time** — changing subject + opening + CTA simultaneously learns nothing
5. **Document what works** — a playbook that lives in one rep's head is not a playbook
