The prompt
Rewrite this cold email in under 80 words:
{{email}}
Keep:
- the specific first line about the prospect,
- the one problem and the one result,
- the closing question.
Cut everything about our company's history, every adjective that doesn't add meaning, and any second question. Keep the tone plain and human. Return only the email.Example of what it writes
Hi Sara, saw Northwind just opened in Austin. That's usually when outbound starts eating the team's mornings. We run cold email for agencies your size; the last one went from 4 to 19 booked calls a month. Worth a quick look?
How to use this prompt
- Copy it into any AI tool, such as ChatGPT or Claude.
- Replace each {{field}} with real details about you and the person you're writing to. The more specific they are, the less generic the result.
- Check every fact, name and number in what comes back: AI can sound sure about things that aren't true.
- Cut it down if it runs long. A cold email reads best under about 75 words.
- Send it to yourself and read it on your phone before anyone else sees it.
