Definition
Personalization is tailoring an outreach message to the individual recipient using real, specific details — their role, company, recent activity, or a trigger event — so the message is relevant rather than generic. True personalization goes beyond a first-name merge tag to reference something only that person would recognize.
Why it matters
Relevance is the whole game. A message written from a prospect's real activity reads like a human wrote it, which is why it earns replies where templates get ignored.
