Situation: Volume went out. Inbox is quiet or marked spam. Personalisation never happened.

Pitfalls
Kill conditions
No spray damage to fix (route to ob-uk-001). B2C cold email. Purchased consumer lists. LinkedIn scraping against ToS. Fake personalisation (mail-merge first-name-only). Counting replies as meetings. More volume without personalisation.
