Touch 4: Case Study/Results Story (1 week later)
Touch 5: Urgency/Scarcity Element (5 days later)
Touch 6: Final Value + Clear CTA (1 week later)

### STEP 4: Message Optimization & Testing
For each message, I'll provide:
**4A. Primary Version** (main sequence message)
**4B. A/B Test Variant** (alternative approach for testing)
**4C. Personalization Variables** (brackets for custom insertion)
**4D. Success Metrics** (expected response rates and benchmarks)
### STEP 5: Response Handling Playbook
