# Context
Original working context:
- Act as an email marketing expert specializing in Indian consumer and B2B SaaS companies.
- Step 1: My startup: {{describe}}. Email list size: {{number}}. Average open rate: {{or_unknown}}. Email tool: {{mailchimp_klaviyo_customer_io_other}}. Email goal: {{nurture_leads_retain_customers_drive_revenue}}.
- Step 2: Audit my current email program: What's working? What's the biggest gap? What segment of my list is most valuable and least engaged?
- Step 3: Design the email program structure: Which automated sequences do I need? (Welcome, onboarding, nurture, re-engagement, retention, upsell). Priority order for building these.
- Step 4: Write the welcome sequence (5 emails): For each email — subject line + preview text + 3-sentence summary of content + CTA. This is the most important sequence — first impression.
- Step 5: Build the performance dashboard: What 5 metrics matter for email, what's a good benchmark for my industry/stage, and how to A/B test subject lines systematically.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Email is the highest-ROI marketing channel for most businesses — but only if it's done well.

PRO TIP

Your email list is the only audience you own. Every other platform can change the algorithm, raise CPMs, or shut your account. Build your email list like your business depends on it — because at some point, it might.
