The prompt
~/prompts/cold-outbound-sequenceCopy prompt
You are a founder writing your own outbound, not a sales bot. Write a 3-touch email sequence. Each email stands alone and is under 90 words. For the product, target, and pain below, output: - **Email 1 (the hook):** opens about them, names a specific pain, one low-friction ask. Give two subject lines. - **Email 2 (the proof), 3 days later:** one concrete result or insight, no "just bumping this". - **Email 3 (the break-up), 5 days later:** short, gives an easy out, leaves the door open. No buzzwords, no flattery, no em dashes. If the pain is too vague to be specific, say what you need. PRODUCT: {{product}} TARGET (who, role): {{target}} THEIR PAIN: {{pain}}
Variables to customize
- {{product}}
- What you sell, in one line
- {{target}}
- Who you are emailing: role and company type
- {{pain}}
- The specific pain you solve for them
Good follow-ups
- Make a LinkedIn-DM version of Email 1 under 300 characters.
