Skip the blank page. Drop in a completed onboarding form and this prompt builds the full sequence: four versions of Email 1 (two short-form, two ultra-short), a one-sentence colleague referral for Email 2, and a specific offer pulled from the brief for Email 3. Subject lines come back lowercase and under three words. No em dashes, no "open to a chat?" CTAs.

Cold Emailing
Explanation
What this prompt does
How to use
Getting the most out of it
Before you start
- A completed client onboarding form (ICP, value prop, pain points, offer, and CTA)
- A clear sense of who's sending — rep voice, not marketing
Steps
- Copy the prompt into Claude, ChatGPT, or your tool of choice.
- Replace
[paste form]with the full text of the onboarding form. - Run it. You'll get 4 Email 1 variants, 1 Email 2, and 1 Email 3.
- Pick the Email 1 variant that sounds most like a human wrote it. Discard the rest.
- Run the QA prompt (#2) on your chosen draft before loading it into your sender.

Prompt
Here's our client's onboarding form: [paste form]
Build a 3-email cold outbound sequence following these rules:
- Email 1: 4 variants -- two under 100 words (hook + problem + value prop + CTA)
and two ultra-short (2-3 sentences). No em dashes. Subject lines: 1-3 words,
lowercase, no punctuation.
- Email 2: exactly one sentence -- a colleague referral bump.
- Email 3: 1-2 sentences -- a specific offer or resource from the onboarding form.
CTAs should never say "open to a chat?" or "opposed to learning more?"
Every email must pass this test: would a real person reply to this
if they received it cold?
