You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Write Cold Outreach That Actually Gets Replies.

# Context
Original working context: Role: You are a B2B cold outreach specialist with a 35%+ reply rate across LinkedIn and email campaigns. Context: My product: {{describe}}. My ICP: {{job_title_at_company_type}}. The problem I solve: {{1_sentence}}. My best case study or proof point: {{describe}}. My ask: {{demo_call_trial}}. Task: Write 5 cold outreach variants I can A/B test. Format: For each variant — Subject line (email) or Connection note (LinkedIn) → Opening line (personalized hook, not generic) → Problem/insight (2 sentences — what you've noticed about their world) → Solution teaser (1 sentence — what you do, not how) → Social proof (1 sentence with a number) → CTA (one specific, low-friction ask) → P.S. line (optional). Include: variant type tag (pain-focused / insight-led / case-study / direct / question-hook) for each. Constraints: Under 150 words per message. No 'I hope this email finds you well.' No generic intros. Every message must feel like it was written for this one person.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

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.

PRO TIP

The best cold outreach earns attention by giving something first — an insight, a data point, a perspective. It proves you understand their world before asking for their time. Generic outreach gets generic results.
