Copy-ready sequence library
Follow up without sounding like spam.
These are starter SMS + email reactivation packs for a client’s own prior leads. They are deliberately plain, respectful, and easy to approve before a campaign runs.
Sample copy only · owned prior contacts only · opt-out wording included
Before using any sequence
- Confirm the list is the client’s own CRM, inbox, quote list, booking system, or lapsed-customer export.
- Remove opt-outs, STOP replies, unsubscribes, bounced contacts, wrong numbers, and do-not-contact notes first.
- Adjust the opening line so the prior relationship is truthful. Never pretend there was a recent conversation.
- Client approves audience, message, timing, and reply handoff before anything sends.

Start with the list, not the copy: use the account-based free preview first, suppress risky contacts, then adapt one of these sequences to the exact segment.

This library is operational copy, not legal advice. It is for the client’s own prior contacts only. Every message must be reviewed against the client’s sector, region, consent records, and suppression list before sending.
