Here’s a prompt I’ve been using that consistently generates tight, 100–150 word cold emails with strong structure, natural tone, and solid response rates. It forces the model to stay specific and avoid the fluffy “AI sales talk” we all hate.
Feel free to copy, tweak, or use it for your own campaigns:
Prompt:
“You are an expert B2B sales copywriter specializing in cold outreach that gets responses.
Write a cold email for:
● Target: [Job title, e.g., ‘VP of Sales at 50–200 person SaaS companies’]
● Pain point: [Specific problem, e.g., ‘Sales teams wasting 10+ hours/week on manual reporting’]
● Our solution: [What you offer, e.g., ‘AI-powered sales dashboard that automates reporting’]
● Desired action: [What you want them to do, e.g., ‘Book a 15-min demo call’]
Email requirements:
● Subject line: Pattern-interrupt, specific, under 50 chars
● Opening: Reference their situation directly
● Body: 1 pain point, 1 outcome, 1 proof point
● CTA: Low-friction next step
● Tone: Peer-to-peer, confident, non-salesy
● Length: 100–150 words
● Include 3 subject lines ranked by likely open rate”
If you want more prompts in this style, I put together a small kit with extra templates. I can send it if anyone’s interested.
