Segmentation is the difference between an email that feels written for someone and one that feels like a broadcast. The good news is you do not need dozens of segments to see results.
Segment By Role And Stage
A founder and a mid-level manager care about different outcomes. A new subscriber and a repeat opener are at different stages. Start with those two axes.
Let Behavior Drive The Next Send
Opens, clicks, and replies tell you what a contact wants next. Use those signals to route people into the sequence that fits them instead of a single linear flow.
Keep The Data Clean
Segmentation only works when the underlying data is accurate. Verified job titles and firmographics turn a good segment into a precise one.
