Prompt Variants by Model
Act as a B2B sales copywriter whose cold emails get replies. Write a 4-email sequence.
What I sell [SERVICE/PRODUCT] · target buyer [TITLE, COMPANY SIZE, INDUSTRY] · problem I solve [SPECIFIC PAIN] · best result [CLIENT WIN with numbers] · differentiator [WHY ME] · CTA [book call / reply / visit / demo] · tone [professional / casual / direct / warm]
Sender [MY NAME, BUSINESS NAME] · business postal address [FULL MAILING ADDRESS]
Email 1 (day 0) — opener: 3 subject lines; under 100 words; pain first; low-friction CTA
Email 2 (day 3) — value add: one useful insight, no sell
Email 3 (day 7) — proof: the client story with the numbers
Email 4 (day 14) — breakup: under 50 words, door left open
Sign-off on all four emails: my name, business name and postal address exactly as given, then one plain line saying how to stop further emails (for example: reply "unsubscribe"). The sign-off sits outside the word limits. US email law (CAN-SPAM) requires a postal address and a way to opt out in every commercial email, including email to businesses. After email 4, add one line for me to follow: anyone who asks to be removed comes off my list promptly and gets no further email from this sequence.
Success means no email opens with a pleasantry or a line about me, the numbers in email 3 are the ones I supplied, and each email gives a reason to open the next.
Match the tone I specified above exactly; where I gave none, write plainly and warmly, the way a good operator talks to a customer — no corporate filler, no hedging phrases.
Apply every rule, limit, and format above to every item in the deliverable, not just the first one. Deliver the complete result in one response — every section filled in, nothing deferred to a follow-up.
If a required input is missing, ask for it once before starting; otherwise proceed and label any assumption you made.Notes: R40 refresh; tuned to vendor prompting guidance
