Cold email fails at three points: a subject line that reads like an ad, a body that talks about you, and a follow-up that apologises. Fix those with prompts.
Subject and open
1. "Write 10 subject lines under 6 words, lowercase, no exclamation marks, for an email about [offer] to [role]. Each must name a problem, not a benefit."
2. "Rewrite this opener so the first sentence is about their world, not mine: [paste]. Max 14 words."
3. "Turn this case study into one proof line under 20 words I can drop in paragraph two: [paste]."
Body and ask
4. "Write a 90-word cold email: problem, proof, one question. No 'I hope this finds you well', no attachments."
5. "Give me three different calls to action for the same email: low-friction, medium, direct. One line each."
6. "Rewrite this email so every paragraph is under 25 words: [paste]. Keep the meaning."
Follow-ups
7. "Write a 4-email follow-up sequence (day 3, 7, 14, 28). Each adds one new angle, never says 'just bumping this'."
8. "Draft the breakup email: polite, final, leaves the door open in one line."
9. "Reply to 'we are not interested' with two questions that surface a real objection."
10. "Reply to 'send me pricing' without discounting: anchor on scope, ask one qualifying question."
Scale
11. "Personalise this template for 10 companies using one line from each of their homepages: [paste template, paste homepages]."
12. "Write a LinkedIn connection note under 300 characters that references [shared context] and asks nothing."
