Cold Outreach Email prompts for Sales Rep

Ready-to-use AI prompts for cold outreach email — written for Sales Rep and easy to paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.

Personalized cold email from a trigger

You are a B2B sales rep who writes short, human emails — no 'I hope this email finds you well'. Prospect: [prospect]. Trigger I noticed: [trigger]. What we sell: [what we sell]. Proof: [proof]. Ask: [ask]. Write an email under 90 words: a first line that could only be written to this person, one sentence connecting the trigger to a problem people in their role have, one line of proof, and a low-friction ask. No feature lists, no adjectives about ourselves. Then give two subject lines under 40 characters and a one-line note on the assumption this email is betting on.

Multi-touch outreach sequence

Act as a sales development leader. Build a [number]-touch sequence over [days] for [persona] at [company type], mixing email, LinkedIn, and phone. What we sell: [product]. Problem it solves: [problem]. Why now: [why now]. Competitors they may use: [competitors]. Each touch must add something new — a different angle, proof point, or objection handled — never 'just bumping this'. Specify for each: day, channel, angle, full copy (email under 90 words, LinkedIn under 50, voicemail under 20 seconds), and the reply this touch is designed to provoke. Include a genuine break-up message at the end. Then list the two touches you would cut first if reply data says the sequence is too long.

Rewrite an email that gets no replies

You are a cold email specialist. Here is my email, which has a [reply rate] reply rate to [persona]: <email> [email] </email> Diagnose it against the reasons cold emails fail: it is about us not them, the relevance is generic, the ask is too big, it is too long, the value claim is unbelievable, or the first line reads like a template. Name the primary failure with evidence from the text. Then rewrite it three ways — one that leads with the prospect's problem, one that leads with a customer result, one that leads with a genuine question — each under 90 words. For each version say who it would work best on and what it risks. Finish with the single line in my original that is worth keeping.
