Personalization at Scale

Generate hundreds of unique, researched first lines in minutes instead of hours, making cold outreach feel warm.

• references/fallbacks.md - role/stage/industry/competitor lines for prospects with no angle
• references/output-template.md - full campaign deliverable structure
• references/benchmarks.md - expected lift, A/B reference data, pro tips (do/don't)
• references/example-campaigns.md - worked campaign examples by persona

Workflow

1. Ingest the prospect list (CSV or pasted). Require First Name, Last Name, Title, Company; use LinkedIn URL, email, website, industry, size, and location when available.

2. Confirm preferences: which personalization styles to prioritize (1-3), tone (professional, casual, direct, consultative), and any exclusions (recency cutoff, personal topics, sensitive subjects).

3. Research each prospect across the sources in references/research-sources.md. Identify the strongest, most recent, verifiable angle per prospect.

4. Match each prospect to its angle and draft from the matching pattern in references/patterns-by-type.md. For prospects with no angle, draft from references/fallbacks.md.

5. Generate 2-3 first-line options per prospect, each with a confidence score (High/Medium/Low) and notes on alternative angles. Follow the structure in references/output-template.md.

6. Quality-check the first 10 manually. Confirm each line is specific, recent, relevant, natural, and verifiable before scaling the batch.

7. Export in the requested format: CSV with personalization columns, merge fields for the outreach tool (Outreach, Salesloft), individual drafts, or copy-paste blocks.

8. Track response rates by personalization type and refresh personalizations every 30 days as activity changes.

See references/benchmarks.md for target success rates and references/example-campaigns.md for persona-specific approaches.
