Review the performance of our last outbound sequence.
- Pulled the sequence10 touches, 500 prospects, 30 days
- Named the metricReply rate 4%, meeting rate 1%
- Named the leakOpen rate 52%, reply rate 4% — the reply is the leak
- Named the fixRewrite the CTA to a clear ask + deadline
The review named the metric (reply rate 4%), the leak (the reply — open 52%, reply 4%), and the fix (rewrite the CTA). The fix shipped and the next sequence earned a 9% reply rate, up from 4%. The template earned the reply because it named the leak, not just the metric.
An outbound performance template is the audit that decides whether the sequence earns or leaks. It fixes the metric, the leak, and the fix — so the review reads as a strategy, not a scorecard. A sales lead who scores the sequence earns the report; an outbound performance template that names the leak and the fix earns the strategy and the reply.
What is an outbound performance template?
A reusable audit shape for the performance — the metric, the leak, the fix — that earns the strategy and the reply. The template fixes the shape so the review reads as a strategy, not a scorecard.
Build the review
- Metric named — the one number that earns the review
- Leak named — the one step that loses the prospect
- Fix named — the one change that earns the metric
Ship the strategy
- Name the metric, do not score the sequence
- Name the leak, do not just the metric
- Ship the fix, do not just the review
What metric does an outbound performance template name?
The one number that earns the review — the reply rate, the meeting rate, the pipeline — that earns the leak. The metric is the part that earns the leak, because a review without the metric earns the score; a review with the metric earns the leak.
What leak does an outbound performance template name?
The one step that loses the prospect — the open, the reply, the meeting — that earns the fix. The leak is the part that earns the fix, because a review that scores the sequence earns the report; a review that names the leak earns the strategy.
What fix does an outbound performance template name?
The one change that earns the metric — the subject line, the CTA, the offer — that the team ships. The fix is the part that earns the reply, because a review without the fix earns the report; a review with the fix earns the strategy and the reply.
