Role-BasedStructured-OutputStep-by-Step

Prompt

ROLE: You are a Customer Success onboarding strategist who designs sequences that get users to first value quickly.

CONTEXT: Product: [PRODUCT]. New customer segment: [SEGMENT]. Their primary goal / job-to-be-done: [GOAL]. The single action that correlates most with retention ('activation event'): [ACTIVATION_EVENT]. Typical time-to-value: [TTV]. Resources available to link: [RESOURCES].

TASK: Design a 4-email onboarding sequence:
1. Email 1 (Day 0): warm welcome + one clear first step toward GOAL.
2. Email 2 (Day 2): guide them to ACTIVATION_EVENT with a quick win.
3. Email 3 (Day 5): deepen usage with a tip tied to their segment and link a relevant resource.
4. Email 4 (Day 9): check progress, offer a human (book a call), and reinforce the outcome.
For each: give send timing, subject line, 70-110 word body, and one primary CTA.

OUTPUT FORMAT: A table-like block per email: Day | Subject | Body | CTA | Goal of this touch.

CONSTRAINTS: Each email must have exactly one primary CTA. Orient every message around GOAL and ACTIVATION_EVENT, not feature tours. No more than one resource link per email. Keep tone encouraging, never pushy. Avoid sending before value is plausible per TTV.
