Cold email argued from reply-rate benchmarks you can open.
It argues from the bundled reply-rate benchmarks instead of instinct, and treats personalization depth as a spend decision: how much research each prospect earns, given what the benchmarks say it returns. Subject line, opening line, a short body, one CTA, and a follow-up sequence with an end date. The list itself comes from suede-prospecting.
