Strategy

Templates get you started. Strategy keeps you going. Most outbound fails not because the emails are bad, but because the system around them is broken – wrong targets, wrong metrics, wrong channel, wrong timing.

Everything below covers the structural decisions behind outbound that works. Who to reach. What to measure. When to pivot. When to stop.
