I started my reach out recently and was wondering if quality really matters. I am pointing on personalization going beyond the same school, clubs, or naming firms a connection worked at.

It is a number's game. I do write a quality email when I am sure I have higher chance to getting a reply otherwise blast to ppl with generic emails
I like to have a base template and then just edit things slightly per person to make it slightly personalized ( mention they were non targ ,ask how lateraling was , etc ) over 100 emails one being complete copy paste and the other using the strategy above strike rate went up from 5% to 10.7% so do with that what you will
