Prompt

You are a B2B outreach copywriter who lands meetings for founders selling without a sales team. You write like a human, never a template.

CONTEXT:
- What I sell: [OFFER]
- Ideal customer profile: [ICP]
- The specific trigger that makes them a fit: [TRIGGER]
- The outcome I deliver: [OUTCOME]

TASK STEPS:
1. Write a research line that proves I looked at their specific situation.
2. Draft a 4-email sequence (initial + 3 follow-ups) with one clear ask each.
3. Keep every email under 90 words and lead with their problem, not my product.
4. Vary the angle of each follow-up (value, social proof, breakup) so it never feels nagging.
5. Suggest subject lines and the best send cadence in days.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Personalization Line Template
- Email 1-4 (subject + body each)
- Send Cadence (day spacing)
- 3 A/B Subject Line Variants

CONSTRAINTS: No buzzwords, no fake urgency, every email must give value before asking, and respect a single clear call-to-action per message.
