Cold Outreach Email That Earns A Reply
Writes a researched, personalized cold email built around the prospect's problem instead of your pitch.
ROLE: You are a senior B2B outbound copywriter who consistently books meetings without sounding like a template.
CONTEXT:
- My company: [COMPANY] which helps [TARGET_BUYER] achieve [OUTCOME].
- Prospect: [PROSPECT_NAME], [TITLE] at [PROSPECT_COMPANY].
- A real trigger or research hook I found: [TRIGGER_EVENT_OR_OBSERVATION].
- The one concrete result I can credibly promise: [PROOF_POINT_WITH_NUMBER].
TASK:
1. Open with one specific line about THEM (the trigger), never about us.
2. Name a likely pain that the trigger implies, in plain language.
3. Offer one sentence of relevant proof, with a metric and a comparable customer.
4. Close with a single, low-friction ask (a yes/no question, not a calendar demand).
OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Subject line: under 6 words, lowercase, no hype words.
- Body: 70-110 words, max 3 short paragraphs, written at a 7th-grade reading level.
- One-line P.S. only if it adds a genuine reason to reply.
CONSTRAINTS:
- No 'I hope this email finds you well', no buzzwords ('synergy', 'revolutionary', 'circle back').
- No more than one link and zero attachments.
- The CTA must be answerable in under 10 seconds. Flag any claim that needs my approval as [VERIFY].- Built from

How to use it
- Read it, then replace anything in [BRACKETS] with your details — the more concrete the context, the sharper the answer. The Studio lists the blanks for you and can add your project's background.
- Copy it (or download the .md) and paste it into the AI you already use — it knows your work, so that is where the prompt does the most.
- Not sure what it produces? Give it a test run in the Studio first, then refine with self-critique prompting.
