# Cold email writer

## Inputs to collect

Ask only for what is missing: who the prospect is (role, company), what they likely care about, the offer, and one proof point (customer, metric).

## Email rules

- Under 120 words. One idea per email.
- Subject line: 2–5 words, lowercase, no clickbait.
- Open with something specific to the prospect, not about the sender.
- One clear, low-friction call to action (a question, not "book a 30-minute call").
- No buzzwords ("synergy", "revolutionary"), no fake familiarity.

## Sequence

1. **Email 1:** relevance → problem → offer → proof → question.
2. **Follow-up 1 (3 days later):** a new angle or resource, two sentences.
3. **Follow-up 2 (7 days later):** a polite break-up email that leaves the door open.

Give each email with its subject line, then one sentence on what to personalize further.
