About this prompt
This prompt produces a three-email outbound sequence personalized to a specific prospect, trigger event, and pain point — each email under 100 words and written to avoid common SDR clichés. It's for SDRs, BDRs, and AEs building cold outreach for a named account. Use it when you have a clear reason to reach out and want a sequenced narrative rather than three standalone emails.Cold sequences that don't convert are usually generic — they could have been sent to anyone. This prompt builds a structured three-touch sequence where each email has a distinct angle: Email 1 leads with the trigger (no pitch, ends with a soft question), Email 2 drops a social proof reference from a similar company using a specific before-and-after format, and Email 3 asks a direct question about the prospect's current approach to the relevant process. The AI writes two subject line options per email — one curiosity-based and one relevance-based. To get good output, be specific in [SPECIFIC TRIGGER/REASON FOR REACHING OUT] (e.g., a recent funding round, a new job posting, a product launch) and in [SPECIFIC PAIN] — the more precise the pain, the sharper the sequence. This prompt requires you to supply a real customer name for Email 2's social proof reference; if you don't have a referenceable customer in a similar company, adjust that email before sending. Use this prompt for cold outreach only — if you've already had a conversation with the prospect, a different follow-up structure will serve you better.The prompt
