The cold email
prompt library

You write cold email openers. Here is what I know about the prospect:

Company: {{company}}
What they do: {{what_they_do}}
Something specific I noticed (recent post, hire, launch, review): {{observation}}

Write 5 one-sentence openers that reference the observation naturally, without flattery or "I saw that..." clichés. Each under 20 words. No exclamation marks. Sound like a sharp colleague, not a fan.

My product solves this problem: {{problem_you_solve}}
My prospect is a {{role}} at a {{company_type}}.

Write 5 cold-email opening lines that name a specific, plausible version of that problem from the prospect's point of view. No questions like "Are you struggling with...?" — make observations instead. Under 18 words each.

Write 10 cold email subject lines for this pitch: {{one_line_pitch}}

Rules:
- 1 to 4 words, all lowercase
- no clickbait, no emoji, no "quick question"
- should read like an internal email from a colleague
- at least 3 should mention {{company}} or their industry ({{industry}})

Return them ranked, best first, with one line explaining the top pick.

Here is my cold email body:

{{email_body}}

Write 2 subject lines for an A/B test that take genuinely different angles (e.g. problem vs outcome, specific vs curious). Both under 5 words, lowercase, no punctuation tricks. Explain in one line what each variant tests, so I know what a win means.

Write a cold email under 75 words.

Who I am: {{your_role_and_company}}
Who they are: {{prospect_role}} at {{company}}
The problem I solve: {{problem}}
Proof it works (one real fact, no inflation): {{proof_point}}
Call to action: ask if it's worth a 15-minute call

Rules: no "I hope this finds you well", no "I know you're busy", no buzzwords (synergy, streamline, leverage). One idea per sentence. End with a question they can answer with one word.

Write a cold email of max 90 words built around this customer result:

Customer (similar to prospect): {{similar_customer}}
The result, in numbers: {{result}}
How we did it, in one phrase: {{how}}
Prospect: {{prospect_role}} at {{company}}

Structure: result first (no adjectives), one line on how, one line asking if {{company}} faces the same thing. The tone is "this might be relevant", never "we're amazing".

Here is the cold email I sent {{days_ago}} days ago and got no reply to:

{{original_email}}

Write a follow-up under 60 words that adds ONE new thing — a different angle on the problem, a relevant resource, or a sharper proof point. Do not apologize, do not say "following up" or "bumping", do not summarize the first email. End with an easier ask than the original.

Write the last email of a cold sequence to {{prospect_role}} at {{company}} about {{pitch}}. Under 50 words.

Tone: warm, zero guilt-tripping. Acknowledge the timing may be wrong, leave one concrete door open ("if {{trigger_event}} happens, this gets relevant"), and make clear I'm closing the thread. No "last chance" pressure.

Here is text from my prospect's website:

{{website_text}}

My pitch: {{one_line_pitch}}

1. In two sentences: what does this company sell and to whom?
2. Name the most likely gap between what they promise customers and what my product fixes.
3. Write one cold-email opening line connecting that gap to my pitch, under 20 words, no flattery.

My product: {{product_description}}
My segments: {{segment_list}}

For each segment, write the first two sentences of a cold email: sentence 1 names a problem that segment actually feels (in their vocabulary), sentence 2 connects my product to it without naming features. Keep each under 35 words total.

A prospect replied to my cold email with: "{{their_reply}}"

They currently use {{competitor}}. My honest advantages over it: {{advantages}}
Things {{competitor}} genuinely does well: {{competitor_strengths}}

Write a reply under 80 words that: acknowledges their tool is a fine choice, names ONE specific difference that matters for someone like them, and offers a low-pressure way to see it. Never trash the competitor.

A prospect replied: "{{their_reply}}" (a polite not-now).

Write a response under 50 words that: thanks them like a human (not "I totally understand!"), asks ONE question to learn when it does become relevant ({{likely_trigger}}), and proposes I check back at a specific time. No pushing, no discount offers.
