Research an Account and Prospect Before First Outreach

Generate a structured account and prospect brief — business model, recent news, role priorities, and a non-obvious

About this prompt

This is Step 1 of a three-part chain prompt for personalized outreach. It produces a structured account and prospect brief covering company overview, recent strategic developments, the prospect's likely top priorities, and one non-obvious observation most reps would miss. It's designed for AEs, SDRs, and BDRs running targeted outbound against named accounts. Use it when you want to personalize outreach beyond surface-level details but don't have time to do deep manual research on every account.Generic outreach fails because it's obviously not about the prospect — it's about the rep's quota. This prompt anchors personalization in real account and individual context before any message is written. Fill in [PROSPECT NAME] with the contact's full name, [TITLE] with their job title, [COMPANY] with the company name, [URL] with the company website, and paste or link their LinkedIn profile where prompted. The output covers four areas: company business model and scale, recent news or strategic developments from the last 90 days, the prospect's likely top priorities based on their role, and one non-obvious observation designed to differentiate your outreach from the ten other emails they receive today. This is the first step in a three-part chain — the research output feeds directly into Step 2 (identifying the best outreach angle) and Step 3 (writing the personalized email), so save it rather than treating it as a standalone deliverable. The most common mistake with this prompt is providing a bare company URL with no LinkedIn context — including the prospect's profile URL or a paste of their career history dramatically improves the role-priority and unique observation sections.
