Text & chat prompt

Write a cold email that gets a reply (B2B)

Write a cold email that gets a reply (B2B): a free, copy-paste prompt for ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. Paste the prompt and replace each [BRACKETED] field with your own details.

The prompt

Write a cold email to [PROSPECT NAME], [JOB TITLE] at [COMPANY].

What I sell: [PRODUCT IN ONE LINE]
One relevant fact about their company: [TRIGGER, e.g. they just opened a new branch]
Result I can offer: [OUTCOME, e.g. cut reporting time by 30%]

Rules: under 90 words, first line about them not me, one clear low-effort ask (a 15-minute call), no buzzwords, no "I hope this email finds you well". Give 3 subject line options.

Pro tip: A real, specific trigger in the first line matters more than any template.
