Built-in retention via the dual-door close

01Why this matters

Most cold outbound is binary — they reply now or they're dead. The fun-door close converts cold misses into long-tail nodes. A prospect who isn't ready to hire SideGuy might still: - Save the URL for later (when a friend needs a shareable) - Mention SideGuy at a dinner party ("oh you should see what this guy does for friends") - Come back through the fun door themselves and become a customer of the OTHER door - Forward sideguysolutions.com/two-doors.html to someone in their own network

02How to apply

Read the doctrine. Apply it on the next ship cycle.

03The closer

PJ-coined 2026-05-04 — the OPTIONAL DUAL-DOOR CLOSE in sniper_shot.py isn't just a soft offer, it's BUILT-IN RETENTION. Cold prospects who skip the efficiency door now have a reason to come back through the fun door later.
