# Sequence Writing
## Purpose
Turn a target persona and a reason-to-reach-out into a complete multi-touch cadence:
the right channel mix, the right spacing, a different angle on every touch, and a
breakup that creates urgency — so the prospect hears a campaign, not eight copies of
the same email.
## Inputs
- Who you're reaching (persona, role, company, segment)
- The trigger or reason to reach out (event, pain, mutual deal context)
- Channels available (email, phone, LinkedIn) and how aggressive the motion can be
- Any known personalization hooks (recent meeting, prior deal, shared connection)
## Method
A sequence is a story told across touches. The unit of design is the *touch* — each
one has a channel, a time, and a single angle. Two rules govern the whole thing.
**The value-per-touch rule:** every touch must add something the prospect didn't have
before — a new insight, a different proof point, a relevant resource, a question they
haven't been asked. "Just bumping this" / "circling back" / "did you see my email" are
not touches; they are noise that trains the prospect to ignore you. If a touch has no
new angle, delete it.
**Channel mix:** alternate channels so you're not a single muted inbox thread. Email
carries the substance; phone creates a live moment; LinkedIn warms and humanizes. A
multi-threaded prospect who has seen you in three places replies more than one hit
eight times in the same place.
**Concrete cadence (8 touches over ~18 business days):**
