Reply rate

The share of contacted people who answer. The only top-of-funnel metric that survives contact with reality.

Open rate stopped being measurable in any honest way once mail privacy protection started pre-fetching images. Click rate on cold outbound is mostly bots. Reply rate is what is left, and it is the right metric anyway because a reply is the outcome.

Measured per step rather than per campaign, it tells you where the sequence is losing people, which is actionable in a way an average is not.

What GTM does about it

The quality agent measures reply rate per step hourly and names the failing one. The copy agent rewrites it on the six-hourly pass. They are separate agents so somebody is left able to say what was wrong.
