Different posts need different reply angles. Treating every post as a pitch creates generic or spammy replies.
Glossary definition
Reply angle
A reply angle is the strategic direction a social reply takes. TypeToSell commonly separates replies into trust, conversation, and natural next-step angles so users can choose the right pressure level for the post.
It is the job the reply is trying to do: prove expertise, start a conversation, or offer a relevant next step.
