About this prompt
This prompt helps AEs, SDRs, and BDRs write a cold email that leads with a customer outcome story rather than a product pitch. It is designed for reps who have at least one relevant case study and want to open a conversation by making the prospect's problem feel concrete and recognized. Use it at first touch when you are selling to a specific industry vertical and have proof from a similar account.Cold emails that open with product features get deleted; ones that open with a customer's pain — told as a short story — get read. This prompt generates a sub-200-word email that puts the customer's original problem front and center, walks through the outcome, and closes by asking whether the prospect faces a similar challenge. Fill in [FILL IN prospect role] and [FILL IN industry] to calibrate the persona framing, then drop your case study summary into the third field. The case study summary does not need to be polished — bullet points with the customer type, the pain, and the metric result are enough for the AI to build the story. Use this prompt when you have a tight vertical fit and a real proof point; without a credible case study, the output will read as fabricated social proof, which will damage rather than build trust. Avoid using it for cold outreach to prospects in industries where your case studies are thin or where the pain described does not map closely to the target's likely situation.The prompt
