The prompt
# Task
Write 5 unique cold outreach emails pitching a free demo of [YOUR_SAAS_PRODUCT_NAME] to mid-market HR leaders. Each email must feel personalized, direct, and benefit-focused—not salesy.
# Context
- **Product**: [YOUR_SAAS_PRODUCT_NAME] — [ONE-LINE DESCRIPTION: what it does and the core pain it solves]
- **Target audience**: HR leaders at mid-market companies (100–2,000 employees)
- **Key pain points they face**: [LIST 2-3 SPECIFIC CHALLENGES YOUR PRODUCT SOLVES, e.g., "manual onboarding bottlenecks," "fragmented HR tech stack," "high employee turnover"]
- **Unique value prop**: [YOUR SINGLE STRONGEST DIFFERENTIATOR: e.g., "fastest implementation (2 days)", "50% cost savings vs. competitors", "AI-powered compliance"]
- **Call to action**: Book a 20-minute demo
- **Your name/company**: [YOUR_NAME], [YOUR_COMPANY_NAME]
- **Your email/calendar link**: [YOUR_EMAIL] or [CALENDLY_OR_BOOKING_LINK]
# Constraints
- **Length**: 50–80 words (tight, scannable, mobile-friendly)
- **Tone**: Conversational, confident, problem-focused—avoid hype words ("revolutionary," "game-changer") and false urgency
- **Format**: Email body only; no subject lines in this batch (we'll refine those separately)
- **Personalization hooks**: Reference a recognizable challenge or context (e.g., "if your team is still exporting payroll to spreadsheets") that signals you understand their world
- **What to avoid**: Generic compliments ("I know you're busy"), overly long value props, multiple CTAs, mentioning price or discounts
# Output Format
Provide exactly 5 emails, labeled **Email 1, Email 2**, etc. Each should:
1. Open with a single specific problem or observation
2. State the solution in one sentence
3. Include one credibility detail (e.g., "already helping [COMPANY_TYPE] like [EXAMPLE_COMPANY_NAME]") if provided
4. Close with a single, soft CTA
Before writing the emails, briefly list the 5 distinct angle/hook you will use for variety (e.g., "Angle 1: Automation pain," "Angle 2: Compliance risk"). This helps you avoid repetition and land better with different reader motivations.How to use it
- 1Open ChatGPT and paste the entire prompt into the chat window.
- 2Fill in the five bracketed placeholders: your product name and one-line description, the 2–3 pain points your product solves, your single strongest differentiator, and your contact details. If you don't have a company name yet, use "[YOUR_STARTUP_NAME]" as a placeholder.
- 3Review ChatGPT's response. It should show you 5 distinct angles first, then the 5 emails below. Each email should be 50–80 words, problem-first, and without generic filler.
- 4Copy any email that resonates, paste it into your email template or platform (Instantly, Smartlead, or Lemlist), and test it with 10–20 prospects. Track open and reply rates.
- 5Iterate: if you see low engagement on an angle, ask ChatGPT to "rewrite Email 3 with a different hook focused on [specific_pain]," or ask for 5 new subject lines to pair with the best-performing email body.
