Use case:

First touch, DM, Follow-up


How to use it:

  1. Observation
  2. Question
  3. Context

This is the same as The Mouse Trap, but also includes context for what you do. You want to hit on an implied solution to the challenge. You’re providing a little more background information for why you’re reaching out.


Example:

Will, looks like you’re hiring reps.

Would it be helpful to get a more granular look at how they’re ramping on email? Our in-inbox email coach, Lavender, helps teams ramp faster.


Why it works:

You’re taking The Mouse Trap and adding how you can help your reader if the suggested problem is present. This added detail can bring them closer to understanding the purpose of your question.

It’s still short and direct, which is why it also works as a direct message (DM) or as a bump (a follow-up email).
