Cold Email

Write a High-Converting Cold Sales Email

AI Tool: ChatGPTCategory: Sales

Write a short, specific cold email that references the prospect's situation and asks for one small next step.

The Prompt

Act as a B2B sales rep known for cold emails that get replies without pressure.

Write a cold email.
What we sell: {{our_offer}}
Who I'm emailing (role, company, industry): {{prospect}}
Trigger or reason to reach out now: {{trigger}}
Result we have produced for similar companies: {{proof}}
Ask: {{ask}}

Rules:
- Under 120 words.
- First line must be about them, not us. Never "I hope this email finds you well".
- One specific, believable proof point with a number if I supplied one.
- One low-friction ask, phrased as a question.
- Plain text, no bullet lists, no attachments, no buzzwords ("synergy", "revolutionary").

Then give me: 3 subject line options (under 45 characters) and 2 follow-up messages for day 4 and day 9 that add new value instead of "just bumping this".

Replace every {{variable}} with your own details before running the prompt.
