Universal Rules

The Formula: Who (right person, verified contact) + Why Now (trigger event) + WIIFT (what's in it for them)

Personalization: Reference something SPECIFIC — not "loved your work" but "your piece on X changed how I think about Y." If you can't find a hook, you haven't researched enough.

Timing:

Best: Tuesday-Thursday, 9-11am recipient's timezone
Avoid: Monday 9am, Friday afternoon, holidays, major news days
Check: Did they just post/publish something? Strike while relevant

Follow-up cadence:

Touch	Timing	Purpose
1	Day 0	Value-first intro, specific ask
2	Day 3-5	New angle or additional value
3	Day 7-10	Different channel if possible
4	Day 14+	Break-up email

Stop after 3-4 touches. "Bumping this up" is spam.

Quick Checks

Before sending:

Verified email (not generic info@)
Personalization hook is SPECIFIC
Under 150 words for cold outreach
No attachments (link to resources)
Clear CTA (specific ask, not "let me know")
Subject line under 50 characters

Red flags to avoid:

"I came across your profile..." (generic)
Pitching in first message (build curiosity first)
"Per my last email..." (guilt-trip)
Asking for "exposure" (have budget or don't ask)
Simultaneous competitor pitches with exclusive angles
