Your Prompt
prompt.txt
Design a 5-email outbound sales sequence for SecureShip, a automated compliance monitoring for shipping and logistics companies targeting VP of Operations or Compliance Director at mid-market logistics companies with 200-2000 employees companies. The sequence should drive booking a 15-minute discovery call. Build it as follows: 1) Email 1 (Day 0) — The cold opener: write a subject line under 50 characters with 45% open rate optimization, a personalized first line referencing their recent LinkedIn post, company news, or job posting, a 2-sentence value prop connecting their specific pain point to our solution, and a low-friction CTA (not "book a demo" but something less committal). 2) Email 2 (Day 3) — The value-add: share a specific case study or data point relevant to their industry, include a metric like "reduced compliance audit prep time by 73%," and ask a question that qualifies their interest level. 3) Email 3 (Day 7) — The objection handler: proactively address the top 3 objections for this persona (budget, timing, switching costs), provide a rebuttal for each, and offer a specific next step. 4) Email 4 (Day 12) — The social proof: reference a named customer in their industry or peer group, include a brief outcome story, and create urgency with a limited-time offer or upcoming feature launch. 5) Email 5 (Day 18) — The breakup email: acknowledge you have been persistent, summarize the key value prop one last time, leave the door open, and ask if they can point you to the right person if it is not them. 6) For each email, provide A/B test variants for the subject line and CTA. 7) Include send-time recommendations based on US Eastern Time and the persona typical schedule.

What this prompt does

This prompt writes a complete multi-touch B2B outbound sales sequence rather than a single cold email. You set [sequence_length], describe [product_name] and [product_description], name your [target_persona] and [target_company_type], and state the [desired_action]. ChatGPT then writes each email with a distinct job: a cold opener, a value-add, an objection handler, a social-proof touch, and a breakup email, each spaced by your chosen follow-up days.

The variables control tone, timing, and personalization. [subject_char_limit] and [open_rate_target] constrain the subject lines, [personalization_source] tells it where the opening line's personalization comes from, and [social_proof_metric] supplies the proof point for the value-add email. The [followup_day_2] through [followup_day_5] variables set the cadence, and [timezone] informs send-time advice. Because each email is built to earn the next reply with a low-friction ask, the sequence avoids the common mistake of demanding a demo on the first cold touch.

When to use it

  • You are launching outbound for a B2B SaaS and need a full sequence written fast.
  • Your current cold emails ask for too much too early and you want a low-friction first touch.
  • You need objection-handling copy tailored to a specific persona's likely concerns.
  • You want A/B variants for subject lines and CTAs without writing them all by hand.
  • You are personalizing at scale and want a repeatable structure for the opening line.
  • You need a breakup email that actually re-engages rather than just closing the loop.

Example output

The output is a ready-to-load email sequence. You get [sequence_length] emails, each with a subject line under [subject_char_limit] characters, a personalized first line drawing on [personalization_source], body copy matched to that email's purpose, and a CTA. The value-add email includes the [social_proof_metric], the objection email rebuts three persona-specific objections, and the breakup email asks for a referral if you have the wrong person. Each email also comes with A/B variants for the subject and CTA, plus send-time guidance for [timezone].

Pro tips

  • Make [personalization_source] specific and recent — a generic opener is the fastest way to get a cold email ignored.
  • Keep the first-email CTA genuinely low-friction; the prompt is built to avoid "book a demo," so don't override it with a heavy ask.
  • Set [social_proof_metric] to a real, verifiable outcome — an invented stat damages trust the moment a prospect checks it.
  • Tune the [followup_day_2] through [followup_day_5] cadence to your buying cycle; longer gaps suit considered enterprise purchases.
  • Treat the [open_rate_target] as a writing constraint for the subject lines, not a promise — actual open rates depend on your list and deliverability.
  • Generate the sequence, then have a human edit every personalization token, since the model only knows the [personalization_source] you describe, not the specific prospect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this prompt send the emails for me?
No, it only writes the sequence copy, variants, and send-time guidance. You load the emails into your own outreach or CRM tool and handle sending, deliverability, and list management, which the prompt does not touch.
How does it personalize the first line?
It writes the opener around the `[personalization_source]` you describe, such as a LinkedIn post or company news. Because it does not know the specific prospect, you must still fill in or edit the actual personalized detail before each email goes out.
Can I change how many emails are in the sequence?
Yes, the `[sequence_length]` variable controls the count, defaulting to five. The five-touch structure (opener, value-add, objection handler, social proof, breakup) is well balanced, but you can shorten or extend it to match your cadence.
Will it hit the open rate I specify?
The `[open_rate_target]` guides how aggressively it optimizes subject lines, but no copy can guarantee open rates. Actual performance depends on your sender reputation, list quality, and timing, so treat the target as a writing constraint rather than a forecast.
