Cold Email Outreach Prompt

What this prompt does

Cold email still works in India — for internships, freelance clients, and B2B sales — but only when the email is short, specific and about the recipient. This prompt turns any AI chatbot into a direct-response copywriter: you feed in the recipient, your one-line offer, one proof point and your goal, and it returns two variants (warm and direct) plus three subject lines, all under 120 words with a single low-friction closing question. The rules baked into the prompt are the difference between deleted and answered: open with something specific about them, one idea per email, no hype, no 'I hope this email finds you well'. Freelancers use it to pitch clients, students use it for internship outreach, founders use it for first sales conversations.

Tips to get the best result

• The 'something specific about THEM' opener is the whole game — spend 2 minutes researching the recipient before generating.
• Always generate both variants and A/B test: send warm to half your list, direct to the other half.
• Follow up once after 4 days with a 2-line bump — most replies come from the follow-up, not the first email.
• Replace [PROOF] honestly — one real result beats five vague claims.

How to use it (3 steps)

1. Fill in recipient, offer, proof and goal in the prompt.
2. Generate and pick the stronger variant; personalise the opener line.
3. Send in the recipient's morning hours; follow up once after 4 days.
