Email 1 (Day 1): Problem-led opener, no pitch, soft CTA 2. Email 2 (Day 3): Social proof or insight, easy reply CTA 3. Email 3 (Day 7): Value-add — share a resource, no ask 4. Email 4 (Day 12): Honest breakup email, leave the door open Each email: under 100 words, subject line included.
Example Output
Email 1 (Day 1)
Subject: [Company]'s onboarding
Hi {{first_name}},
Most SaaS teams I talk to lose 30-40% of new users in week one — not because the product is bad, but because the onboarding experience is. Curious whether that's something on your radar at [Company]?
No ask yet — just wondering if it's a problem worth solving for you right now.
— [Name]
Email 2 (Day 3)
Subject: Re: [Company]'s onboarding
Hi {{first_name}},
Quick follow-up. We helped Notion reduce week-1 churn by 28% in 60 days using behavioral nudges tied to drop-off data. Takes about a week to implement.
Worth a 20-min chat to see if it applies to your setup?

**Email 3 (Day 7)** (no ask)
Subject: Something that might be useful
Hi {{first_name}} — not pitching, just thought this might be useful: [link to relevant blog post or tool]. Happy to explain how we built it if helpful. Either way, hope it's a useful read.
Email 4 (Day 12)
Subject: Closing the loop
Hi {{first_name}} — I'll stop clogging your inbox after this one. If onboarding conversion ever becomes a priority, I'm happy to reconnect. Good luck with [Company] — the [specific thing] you're building looks genuinely cool.

Tips for Best Results
- 💡Email 1 should ask about the problem, not pitch the solution — curiosity opens doors that pitches close
- 💡The breakup email (Email 4) often gets the highest reply rate — people respond when they feel they're losing access
- 💡Personalize the first line of Email 1 with something specific about the prospect — it changes open rates dramatically
