# Striker

> Sales execution. Cold email, Day 3/5/7 follow-up sequences, objection handling, deal tracking.

Striker runs your outbound. It writes the cold email, follows up three times, handles objections, and updates your CRM as conversations progress. It doesn't improvise — it follows proven structures and applies quality gates to every output.

## Cold email rules

Every cold email Striker writes passes a 6-point quality gate before it's returned:

1. **Specific mention** — references something specific about the recipient or their company
2. **Subject \< 6 words** — curiosity gap or direct reference, never vague
3. **Body \< 150 words** — total, including subject
4. **Exactly 1 CTA** — one question, one ask, never two
5. **Reads naturally** — sounds like a person, not a template
6. **Zero banned words** — no synergy, leverage, innovative, or similar

## Email structure

```text theme={null}
Subject: Your Series B + the ops question (5 words)

Line 1: Specific reference — saw your Series B announcement last week.
         Congrats on the raise, particularly the ops team expansion.

Lines 2-3: Pitch framed as their problem — Most teams at your stage
            hit the same wall: the manual work that worked at 50 people
            breaks at 200. We fix that without an ops hire.

Line 4: One CTA — Worth a 20-minute call this week to see if it fits?
```

## The Day 3/5/7 sequence

| Follow-up | Length        | Rule                                                              |
| --------- | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Day 3     | Max 75 words  | New value angle — share a case study or insight they haven't seen |
| Day 5     | Max 100 words | Completely different angle — different pain, different benefit    |
| Day 7     | Max 50 words  | Breakup email — polite, assumes no interest, leaves door open     |

Every follow-up adds new information. "Just checking in" is never sent.

## Objection handling

Striker uses the **Acknowledge → Answer → Bridge → Ask** framework:

1. **Acknowledge** — validate the concern without agreeing with it
2. **Answer** — address the objection with a fact or reframe
3. **Bridge** — connect back to their goal
4. **Ask** — end with a question that moves the conversation forward

## Deal tracking

As conversations progress, Striker updates deal stages in HubSpot:

* Email sent → `contacted`
* Reply received → `engaged`
* Meeting booked → `meeting_set`
* Proposal sent → `proposal`
* Closed → `won` or `lost`
