Ben Stammers, Digica

Tue 22 Sep 2026, 10:00 to 10:25 UK. Hard stop: Ian Astley at 10:30.
He has
Counts email (15:14) + LinkedIn pack (18:31)
His WhatsApp
"update the linkedin ones", "mines not doing well", "ramp up a few accounts"
Share if needed
The LinkedIn pack PDF he already has
Never say Any tool or vendor name (say "your workspace", "our company index"). An accept or reply rate as a promise. That Mike's counter-UAS lane went live 8 Sep without his sign-off. Seat pricing or the eight-seat scope.

01 Open, 30 seconds

"You've got the counts and the LinkedIn pack. Short version: your seat has two problems and only one of them is words. Connection request first, then the copy, then what I need from you."

02 The finding. He judges everything on this

"Every campaign in your workspace sends a blank connection request. All seventeen. Nothing we write is read until someone accepts, so 16% accept is not a copy problem. Lukasz is on 67% off the same blank request."
"Your own document has the fix. Section 01, the note you actually send: Gianluca at ESA, Şeref at Selvi, Ryan at Ultra. All three accepted, all three went to a conversation. It's switched on nowhere. I want it on your seat this week, Lukasz as the control."
GET: a yes to switch the note on

03 The copy

His sequence is built from his own six emails and his section 01 messages.
GET: sign-off on his. Ask if Sandra sees hers now (each seat owner agrees, his ground rule)

04 Rulings that are his. Put them, do not decide them

RulingThe line
Mike and Lukasz have no writing on record. They hold 49 of the 117 interested replies."Recorded call, fifteen minutes each with me, I transcribe. A written sample comes back polished and sounds like nobody. Which do you want?"
Meta is live in Sandra Graphics EU, step 2. Meta is in his "pending my check" tier."One clause. Out, or cleared?"
"Intel's AI preferred supplier since 2019" is live on two of Rafał's."On the Intel lane it's Intel's own people, nothing disclosed. On Semiconductor EU it's proof to third parties. Jim said on 28 Aug Intel isn't cleared. Is it?"
"300+ deployments" in eleven campaigns. Brief says "300+ AI projects completed". Søren's own signature uses the banned phrase."Whose wording wins, yours or Søren's signature? I'll change eleven flows on your word, not before."
The two loosenings: size floor 50 to 11, and the signing group of titles not one title."Niche 1 US is 83 companies as filtered, 288 if the floor drops. Yes or no."
Section 07 governs email, the voice document governs LinkedIn."That's how I've read it. Confirm."

05 His new ask: "ramp up a few accounts"

"Ramp up a few accounts: which, and on which seats? Named target accounts like Søren's Ambarella and Infineon lanes, more seats, or more volume?"

06 Still owed from him

07 Close

"This week: your note on, Lukasz as control, your sequence signed off, two fifteen-minute calls with Mike and Lukasz in the diary. Weekly report split by segment with the reason for every no, from the first week it runs."

08 If he says

He saysYou say
"New copy will sort my accept rate.""It can't. Blank request, nobody reads copy before they accept. The note moves accepts, the copy moves replies. Lukasz is the proof."
"Just use section 07 for LinkedIn too.""Your own document says different instruments. The LinkedIn openers that worked are four lines, and section 07's no-favour close would kill the twenty-minute ask Søren's own messages use."
"83 companies is tiny.""It's what your own standard needs. Proof chosen per company, so a pool you can research. Your words: agree a smaller pool rather than drop the standard. 288 if the floor drops."
"Did you find our clients?""Yes. FLIR twice, Teledyne, T-Mobile. Nothing gets pulled until your fuller list is in."
"Opgal?""One real overlap from your 31. On-target in Jim's niche 3 cell. It comes off our pull or we coordinate. Nothing else you emailed is in our pools."
"Why is Meta in Sandra's copy?""Written in August before your tiers. Step 0 of the same sequence already bans the name. One clause out on your word."
"Can niche 1 start this week?""Two gates, both yours: the exclusion list and your sign-off on the sequence."
"The emails are over 100 words.""Section 07 says 90 to 100, the two you really sent are 124 and 132. Ours are 127 to 132. Each cuts to 100 by dropping its second sentence. Your call."
"Why didn't you write Mike's?""Nothing of his on record, your own document calls it the biggest gap. His live campaign runs on copy written for him, not from him. The call fixes that in fifteen minutes."

Niche 1 US: 83 on-target companies, 76 senior people on the signing titles; 288 companies with the wider floor. All niches and countries as filtered: 279 companies. Cold email: only Semiconductor sends (5,587 sent, 5 replies, 61% through), Medical paused at 99%, a 1,566-lead mixed segment sits in draft. Not yet audited against section 07. Do not raise unless he does.
