Apply to every subject line, opener, second line, follow-up, and CTA generated or reviewed. --- ## When These Rules Apply - Subject lines, openers, second lines, follow-ups, CTAs - Any cold outreach copy being written or QA'd - If a deliverability checker or review flags a word/phrase, treat it as banned going forward unless user explicitly approves an exception - When in doubt, choose the lower-hype rewrite --- ## Banned Single Words Do not use any of the following standalone or as part of a compound word/phrase: `get`, `bank`, `credit`, `access`, `open`, `compare`, `problem`, `now`, `billing`, `deal`, `finance`, `financial`, `claims`, `insurance`, `mortgage`, `soon`, `new`, `performance`, `freedom`, `home`, `sales`, `medical`, `urgent`, `life`, `marketing`, `investment`, `diagnostics`, `friend`, `cash`, `invoice`, `extra`, `purchase` **Nuance:** Punctuation, hyphens, or splits do not make a banned token safe. Treat close variants as banned when the root token is still obvious: - `cash-cycle` → still `cash` → banned - `invoice-line` → still `invoice` → banned - `extra-room` → still `extra` → banned - `purchase-cycle` → still `purchase` → banned --- ## Banned Short Phrases `off chance`, `one time`, `all good`, `following up here`, `last note from me here`, `great fit`, `bumping this once`, `just following up once`, `circle back`, `one more quick follow-up`, `keep this open`, `compare notes`, `compare notes live`, `appreciate the reply` --- ## High-Risk Promotional / Pressure Wording (Banned) `$$$`, `50% off`, `100% guaranteed`, `100% free`, `100% off`, `100% satisfied`, `access now`, `act fast`, `act immediately`, `act now`, `action required`, `affordable deal`, `amazing`, `amazing deal`, `amazing offer`, `apply here`, `apply now`, `avoid bankruptcy`, `bargain`, `best bargain`, `best deal`, `best offer`, `best price`, `best rates`, `big profit`, `bonus`, `buy now`, `buy today`, `call now`, `can't live without`, `cash bonus`, `cash out`, `claim now`, `claim your discount`, `click`, `click below`, `click here`, `click this link`, `contact us immediately`, `deal ending soon`, `discount`, `don't delete`, `double your money`, `double your wealth`, `drastically reduced`, `earn`, `earn cash`, `earn extra income`, `earn money`, `easy income`, `exclusive deal`, `expires today`, `extra cash`, `extra income`, `fantastic`, `fantastic offer`, `fast cash`, `final call`, `for free`, `free access`, `free consultation`, `free gift`, `free membership`, `free money`, `free quote`, `free trial`, `full refund`, `get it now`, `get out of debt`, `get started now`, `giveaway`, `great news`, `guaranteed deposit`, `guaranteed results`, `hurry up`, `important information`, `immediately`, `increase revenue`, `increase sales`, `incredible deal`, `instant earnings`, `instant income`, `instant savings`, `investment advice`, `join millions`, `limited time`, `lowest price`, `make money`, `million dollars`, `money-back guarantee`, `must read`, `no catch`, `no cost`, `no obligation`, `no strings attached`, `once in a lifetime`, `only $`, `only available here`, `order now`, `order today`, `please read`, `price protection`, `profits`, `promise`, `pure profit`, `quote`, `risk-free`, `satisfaction guaranteed`, `save $`, `save big money`, `save up to`, `sign up free`, `special invitation`, `special offer`, `special promotion`, `supplies are limited`, `take action now`, `the best`, `this won't last`, `thousands`, `time limited`, `today`, `top urgent`, `trial`, `unbeatable offer`, `unbelievable`, `unlimited`, `urgent`, `what are you waiting for?`, `while supplies last`, `why pay more?`, `will not believe`, `winner announced`, `wonderful`, `you are a winner`, `you will not believe your eyes` --- ## Phishing-Style / Security-Warning Language (Banned) `access your account`, `account update`, `activate now`, `change password`, `click to verify`, `confirm your details`, `confidential information`, `data breach`, `download now`, `final notice`, `important update`, `immediate action required`, `install now`, `last warning`, `log in now`, `new login detected`, `password reset`, `payment details needed`, `phishing alert`, `security breach`, `security update`, `update account`, `verify identity`, `warning message` --- ## Irrelevant Blacklisted Categories (Never Appear in Copy) `100% natural`, `adult content`, `bet now`, `blackjack`, `casino bonus`, `cure for`, `diet pill`, `doctor recommended`, `fat burner`, `fast weight loss`, `free chips`, `free spins`, `gamble online`, `guaranteed weight loss`, `jackpot`, `lottery winner`, `medical breakthrough`, `miracle cure`, `natural remedy`, `no prescription needed`, `online betting`, `online casino`, `online pharmacy`, `pain relief`, `poker tournament`, `prescription drugs`, `reverse aging`, `risk-free bet`, `safe and effective`, `scientifically proven`, `secret formula`, `slots jackpot`, `spin to win`, `vip offer`, `weight loss`, `winning numbers`, `xxx` --- ## Formatting & Style Bans - No em dashes - No ALL CAPS - No multiple exclamation marks - No greeting prefix before first name (no Hi, Hello, Hey) - No third-person company references (`[Company] offers`, `[Company] helps`) - No fake urgency, misleading subject lines, excessive links, or promotional formatting --- ## Unsubscribe / Closeout Line Rules Never write an unsubscribe line that promises to stop following up based on silence. We DO follow up — that's the whole point of sequences. Silence-based promises are misleading and fail to match actual behavior. **Banned patterns (silence = we stop):** - `I will take silence as a no` - `read no reply as a pass` - `assume no response means no interest` - `If I don't hear back, I will leave it there / let this one go / leave you alone` - `I am happy to stay out of the way` (if implied by context) - Any construction where the user doing nothing = we stop sending **Allowed patterns (explicit user action = we stop):** - `A reply of 'no' / 'not for us' / 'pass' is enough and I'll step out of your inbox` (action-conditional) - `Just say the word and I'll stop` (asks for action) - `A one-word reply works fine if you'd rather I stopped` (asks for action) - `Feel free to ignore this` (permission, no promise) - `Happy to try back later when timing makes more sense` (defers, doesn't stop) - `If this isn't the right angle, tell me what is` (invites pivot) - `If I misjudged the fit, I'd rather know than guess` (asks for clarification) Rule of thumb: **the user has to do something explicit for the sequence to stop**. Silence keeps the cadence running. --- ## Safe Replacement Patterns | Banned / Risky | Safe Replacement | |---|---| | `free consultation` | `open to a short conversation` | | `special offer` | `what we're seeing in the market` | | `act now` | `if relevant, happy to send details` | | `guaranteed results` | `this may be relevant depending on your situation` | | `click here` | `let me know and I can send it over` | | `limited time` | `not sure if this is timely for you` | | `increase revenue` | precise business outcome (e.g. `help support liquidity`) | --- ## Rewriting Logic - Rewrite hype into plain, observational language - Replace pressure with permission - Replace promotional wording with specific business language - If a line sounds like an ad, coupon, scam, or phishing message → rewrite it - If a bump sounds filler-heavy or vague → replace with a direct next-step question or clear closeout line - If a value line uses fuzzy wording (`tight`, `fit`, `access`, `problem`) → rewrite so the operational meaning is explicit - If a reply acknowledgement sounds low-status → remove it and go straight to the next useful question - If a sentence sounds AI-polished → simplify until it reads like a person speaking plainly --- ## Company Name Handling If a banned word appears inside a company name used in copy: 1. Do not drop the company reference entirely if the name is still needed 2. Rewrite the displayed name so the banned token is removed from standalone form 3. Priority: remove the token if the remaining name still reads clearly; only abbreviate or compress when needed Examples: - `Access Brand Communications` → `AB Communications` - `Calcon Mutual Mortgage` → `Calcon Mutual` - `Buckeye Insurance` → `Buckeye` - `Coming Soon New York` → `Coming NY` --- ## Final QA Checklist Before approving any copy: - [ ] Scan subject line for spam-trigger wording - [ ] Scan body for banned or high-risk wording - [ ] Rewrite any hype-heavy or pressure-heavy line into plain language - [ ] Remove fake urgency - [ ] Confirm email sounds like a credible real person, not a promotion --- ## What to do next **If flags cleared:** run `/smartlead-spintax` before upload, then launch via `/smartlead-campaign-upload-public`. **If flags fired:** back to `/campaign-copywriting` to rewrite the flagged lines.
