What each one does

Cold Email Writer

  • Writes cold emails that sound like they came from a real person, not a template
  • Creates multi-touch follow-up sequences with different angles for each email
  • Generates subject lines designed to get opened without sounding salesy
  • Personalizes emails based on research signals like funding, hiring, or company news
  • Optimizes for replies by keeping emails short, focused, and low-friction

Demand Gen Strategy and Measurement

  • Explains how to split budget between brand-building (the 95% not ready to buy) and performance (the 5% in-market now)
  • Helps you define the right metrics—shifting from MQLs to pipeline value and qualified opportunities
  • Guides channel selection and attribution models so you know what's working and what's not
  • Shows how to align marketing structure with your actual go-to-market motion (inbound, outbound, or partner-led)
  • Surfaces buyer psychology—trigger events, deal cycles, multi-stakeholder decisions—so your campaigns match reality
