Email Sequence

• You need to build a welcome or onboarding sequence for new signups or customers and want a structured 5-7 email flow with proper timing and messaging.
• You're running a lead nurture campaign and need a sequence that builds trust, demonstrates expertise, and moves prospects toward a purchase over 2-3 weeks.
• You want to re-engage inactive subscribers with a short win-back series that either reactivates them or gracefully removes them from your list.
• You're mapping out lifecycle emails (upgrade prompts, renewal reminders, NPS surveys, referral asks) and need a structured plan for each stage of the customer journey.

• For cold outreach emails to prospects who haven't opted in, use the cold-email skill instead.
• For in-app onboarding flows (tooltips, checklists, modals), use the onboarding-cro skill — this skill handles the email layer that supports in-app onboarding, not the in-app experience itself.

Provides ready-to-use frameworks for every major sequence type: welcome (5-7 emails), lead nurture (6-8 emails), re-engagement (3-4 emails), and product onboarding (5-7 emails). Each blueprint specifies the purpose, timing, and content focus of every email in the sequence.

Includes proven subject line patterns (question, how-to, number, direct, story tease) with guidance on length (40-60 characters) and preview text (90-140 characters). Covers what makes subject lines clear, specific, and benefit-driven rather than clever but vague.

Defines structure (hook → context → value → CTA → sign-off), formatting (short paragraphs, mobile-first, scannable), tone (conversational, active voice), and length guidelines by email type (50-500 words depending on category). Every email is built around one primary CTA.

Recommends send delays based on sequence type and relationship stage — from immediate welcome emails to weekly long-term nurture touches. Accounts for B2B vs. B2C send timing differences and time zone considerations.

Goes beyond welcome sequences to cover onboarding, retention (upgrades, reviews, NPS, referrals), billing (failed payment, renewal reminders, annual switch), usage summaries, win-back, and campaign emails — giving you a complete lifecycle email vocabulary.

Maps sequences to the right email platform for your use case: Customer.io for behavior-based automation, Mailchimp for SMB, Resend for developer transactional email, SendGrid for scale, Nitrosend for AI-native sequences, and Kit for creator/newsletter workflows.

A SaaS product wants to move new free-tier signups to their first 'aha moment' within 14 days. The skill produces a 7-email onboarding sequence starting with immediate delivery, followed by a quick-win email, feature highlights, a success story, a check-in, an advanced tip, and a final upgrade prompt — each with subject line, preview text, and body copy.

A consultant offers a free PDF guide and wants to convert downloads into discovery calls over 3 weeks. The skill designs an 8-email lead nurture sequence that delivers the resource, expands on the topic, dives into the problem, presents a solution framework, shares a case study, handles objections, and closes with a direct offer.

An e-commerce brand has a segment of subscribers who haven't opened an email in 60 days. The skill creates a 4-email re-engagement flow: a genuine check-in, a value reminder highlighting what's new, a special incentive offer, and a final 'stay or unsubscribe' email to keep the list clean.

A subscription service wants to recover churned customers and survey those who cancel. The skill maps out win-back emails for expired trials and cancelled customers, including cancellation surveys and save-offer sequences timed appropriately after churn events.
