<b>A polished message getting no replies isn't always broken</b>

Everyone says: "Zero replies means your copy failed — rewrite the message."

Myth. Copy is the last thing to blame and the first thing people rewrite. A flawless message to a poorly built list, an unfit offer, or a dead inbox returns silence no matter how sharp the sentences are. You can A/B test wording for a month and never touch the actual leak. Before you rewrite a single line, audit the list and the offer — that's where 80% of silence lives. Polishing copy on a bad list is sanding a table with no legs.
