Trim an Existing Cold Email to Under 75 Words

Cut a cold email draft to under 75 words while keeping the core value prop, CTA, and one personalized insight intact.

About this prompt

This prompt takes an existing cold email draft and rewrites it to under 75 words by removing preamble, social proof, feature lists, and backstory. It's for AEs, SDRs, and BDRs who have a working draft but know it's too long. Use it immediately before sending a sequence to tighten first-touch or follow-up messages that have grown bloated.Most cold emails fail because they try to say too much — the reader loses the thread before hitting the CTA. This prompt takes your existing draft via [PASTE] and strips everything that doesn't move the reader toward the ask, preserving the core value proposition, the CTA, and the personalized element. The output includes three parts: the rewritten email, a word count, and a brief note explaining what was cut and why. Use this when you have a draft you believe in but suspect is overlong — not as a first-pass writing tool, which is a different use case. It works equally well for cold outreach and follow-up sequences. For best results, paste your full draft including subject line; the prompt will handle both. If the AI trims something you want to keep, review the 'what was cut' note and add that element back explicitly in a follow-up instruction.
