Sheet column Reply: yes-interested / yes-not-now / no / OOO / nothing. Next action: send teardown by DATE, invoice later, or close row. A 'not now' with 'try me in Q4' gets a calendar reminder, not a monthly drip. A yes gets the teardown or sample within 48 hours — that is now the job, not more outreach.
You will want to count opens. Skip it for 20 emails. Replies are the metric. If you use a tracker on this small a list you will learn to obsess, not to write. After the follow-up window (day 4 + 3 days of silence), mark remaining rows nothing and close the campaign.
You'll need
- Follow-up dated on the sheet
- Replies logged same day
- Yeses delivered in 48 hours
