Sales Email Sequence Creator

Create email sequences that nurture leads, build trust, and drive conversions while maintaining authentic voice and providing genuine value.

Before Writing

  1. Read context profiles:

    • /context/voice-dna.json - Match authentic voice
    • /context/icp.json - Understand audience pain points and language
    • /context/business-profile.json - Know the offer details
  2. Gather sequence details:

    • What's being sold/promoted?
    • What triggers the sequence?
    • How many emails?
    • What's the timeline?
