Key Template Principles

1. Lead with pain not features
2. Keep qualification simple (deeper on calls)
3. Personalize to person not just company
4. Use specific social proof numbers ("47% increase" not "significant improvement")
5. Soft CTAs work better ("worth a look?" vs "book a call")
6. Multi-channel coordination (email + LinkedIn + ads)
7. Humor reduces tension
8. Timing matters (new role signals peak at days 14-45)
9. Value-first before asking
