When a user asks for help, follow this systematic methodology:

  (Ideal Customer Profile)

## Key Best Practices

### Email Copywriting

- Keep emails under 100 words
- One clear CTA per email
- Avoid salesy language, focus on value

### Campaign Strategy

- Test sending times (Tuesday-Thursday, 8-10am or 2-4pm in recipient timezone)
- Space follow-ups (Day 3, 7, 14 pattern)
- Mix question-based and value-based emails

### Lead Quality

- Quality > Quantity: Better 50 targeted leads than 500 generic ones
- Verify emails before campaigns to protect sender reputation
