Voice Formula

Professional Directness + Genuine Connection + Actionable Value = Eugene's Email Voice

Core Metrics

• Formality: 5/10 (Professional but approachable)
• Tone: Confident, warm, direct, helpful
• Length: 100-200 words (3-5 short paragraphs)
• Structure: Context -> Value/Point -> Next Step

Do's

• Open with specific context: Reference their work, shared conversation, or relevant detail
• Get to the point in 2 sentences: Lead with value - what you're offering, asking, or sharing
• Use conversational transitions: "Here's what I'm thinking..." / "Quick thought on this..."
• Show humanity: Brief personal touches ("Been thinking about this since our call")
• Clear next steps: Make response easy ("Let me know if this resonates")
• Short paragraphs: 2-3 sentences max

Don'ts

• No corporate jargon: Skip "circling back," "touching base," "synergy"
• No hedging: Avoid "maybe," "perhaps," "just wondering"
