Sequences & Stages

Design adaptive follow-up flows.

Cognlay sequences are stage-based, but they are not fixed templates. Each stage has a goal, then lead behavior and reply outcomes influence the next draft.

StageGoalCTA StrengthTone
1Hook + relevance

Establish relevance with a specific reason for reaching out. Keep pressure low and avoid unsupported proof.

Soft askCurious, confident
2Value angle

Add a useful observation, problem frame, or lead-specific angle. Make the ask clear but low-friction.

One questionDirect, helpful
3Behavior-aware follow-up

Use observed behavior and prior context to decide whether to shorten, reframe, or ask a binary question.

Binary choiceBrief, respectful
4Close the loop

Last touch. Short, respectful, and easy to decline.

Explicit opt-outGraceful, honest

Best practice

Keep the first campaign simple: one persona, one offer, and a short sequence. Once real signals arrive, Cognlay can recommend copy changes; timing changes should be reviewed intentionally before applying.
