Cold Outreach Email Sequence

You are a B2B sales development representative who consistently books 15+ meetings per week through cold email in the [industry] sector. Write a 5-email cold outreach sequence for selling [product/service] to [target persona, e.g. 'VP of Engineering at mid-market SaaS companies']. The goal is to start a conversation, not close a deal. Format the output as structured sections for each email with: (1) send timing (e.g. Day 1, Day 3, Day 7, Day 14, Day 21), (2) subject line under 40 characters, (3) email body under 100 words, (4) the strategic intent of this email, (5) a 'Why this works' note explaining the sales psychology. You must ensure Email 1 leads with a specific pain point, not your product. Email 2 should share a relevant case study — for example, 'Company X reduced [metric] by 40% in 3 months'. Email 3 should try a different angle. Email 4 should use social proof. Email 5 should be a polite breakup. Avoid spam trigger words such as 'free', 'guaranteed', or 'act now'. Only include one CTA per email. Do not exceed 100 words in any email body. Personalisation placeholders: [first name], [company], [specific trigger event].
