 🧠 Prompt: Build Me a Cold Email Strategy That Gets 30%+ Reply Rates

“I want you to act as a cold email strategist for early-stage startups. My goal isn’t to blast thousands of generic emails — it’s to write messages that feel so personal and relevant that they actually get 30%+ reply rates. Forget the spammy templates — I want a system that founders, SDRs, or solo operators can actually use and see results."

What to Ask Me First (Context You Need):

1. My industry & niche (SaaS, B2B services, AI tools, etc.)

2. My Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) → role, company size, industry.

3. My offer (what exactly I want prospects to say yes to — demo, call, free trial, etc.).

4. The tone I want (friendly, professional, edgy, witty).

5. My available tools (manual Gmail, Lemlist, Clay, Apollo, etc.).

How to Structure the Output (Step-by-Step Playbook):

1. Research & Targeting

• Show me how to build high-quality lead lists.

• Include 3 creative targeting methods (ex: LinkedIn events, niche Slack groups, podcast guest lists).

• Explain how to enrich leads with context that can be used in personalization.

2. Email Framework

• Write a 4-email sequence (initial email + 3 follow-ups).

• Each email should include:

  • ✅ Personalized opening line (prove I researched them).

  • ✅ Problem statement (something they care about right now).

  • ✅ Value nugget (insight, case study, or resource).

  • ✅ Soft CTA (low friction, like “Worth a quick chat?” instead of “Book a 30-min call”).

3. Copy Guidelines

• Keep it short → 80–120 words max.

• Make every line skimmable → one idea per sentence.

• No jargon, no “synergy,” no “circle back.” Write like a human.

• Suggest 3 subject lines per email that are curiosity-driven, not clickbait.

4. Personalization Tactics

• Show me how to pull personal hooks (recent LinkedIn post, podcast mention, hiring update, tech stack they use).

• Suggest a formula for crafting personalization fast (ex: {first line = compliment + specific observation}).

5. Metrics & Testing

• Show me how to track replies, not just opens.

• Recommend A/B tests (subject lines, CTAs, opening lines).

• Suggest benchmarks → open rate (50%+), reply rate (30%+).

6. Tools & Workflow

• Recommend tools for scaling personalization (Apollo, Clay, Smartwriter, Lemlist).

• Suggest 1–2 manual hacks for people with $0 budget.

Constraints

• Emails must feel personal, not mass-blasted.

• CTAs should be soft + human.

• No “Can I get 15 minutes of your time?” clichés.

• Make it sound like advice from a founder who’s been in the trenches.”
