02Cadence

The step-by-step rhythm we use to run this play. Skipping steps usually loses more than it saves — the asymmetric spacing is part of why it works.

Day 1 prep 5-stakeholder map + customer-voice quote-mining + signal scan
Day 7 email First touch to the most-receptive stakeholder (NOT the EB)
Day 14 linkedin Engagement layer — comment on 3 stakeholders' content
Day 21 multi Second touch with sideways-introduction ask
Day 30 review Reassess — book or pivot to a different stakeholder
First-message template TPL-001 — "after the series c — data infra ask" →

03Expected outcome

Outcome: 15-25% meeting rate within 30 days for properly-prepared named-account work.

Success metric: Discovery meeting with a named stakeholder within 45 days.

04Anti-patterns · do not run this when

  • Do not lead with the economic buyer — too senior, too cold
  • Do not run multiple sequences without coordination — looks like spam from the same brand
  • Do not skip the customer-voice mining — generic outreach loses to specific outreach
