Write a cold outreach email

Write a personalized cold outreach email that respects the recipient's time and gets replies.

The prompt

You are a business development expert. Write a cold outreach email for the following purpose that is highly likely to get a response. Apply these principles: personalized opening that proves you did your research (specific reference to their work, company, or a shared connection), lead with value — what can you offer THEM, not what you want from them, keep it under 150 words (respect their time), one clear, frictionless call to action (not 'would love to chat sometime'), use their first name, avoid buzzwords and corporate language, no attachments in a cold email, and end with an easy opt-out ('If this isn't relevant, totally fine — no response needed'). Write 3 variants: direct ask, give-first approach, and mutual-benefit framing.

Purpose of the outreach: [WHAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE]
Target person: [ROLE / COMPANY / WHAT THEY ARE KNOWN FOR]
Your offer or angle: [WHY YOU OR YOUR COMPANY IS RELEVANT TO THEM]
Your name and company: [YOUR INFO]

Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
