Act as an expert Growth Marketer and Copywriter specializing in cold outbound for B2B SaaS.
### CONTEXT:
I am a solo founder selling an AI-driven lead generation tool.
- **Target Audience:** [YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE eg. SaaS Owners/Founders making under $10k MRR.]
- **Goal:** Get a reply to start a conversation (not a hard sell).
- **Inputs:** Prospect Job Title: [INSERT TITLE], Main Pain Point: [INSERT PAIN POINT].
### THE STRATEGY:
Write a 3-email sequence based on "The Rule of One": One clear problem, one clear solution, one clear CTA. Keep the tone founder-to-founder: professional, brief, and slightly informal (no corporate jargon).
### EMAIL REQUIREMENTS:
1. **Email 1 (The Pattern Interrupt):** Short (<75 words). Don't introduce myself. Start with a relevant observation about their role. Connect the [PAIN POINT] to how my AI tool automates the solution. CTA: A "low-friction" question (e.g., "Open to seeing the list of leads I pulled for you?").
2. **Email 2 (The Case Study/Value):** Send 2 days later. Focus on a specific result (e.g., "We increased X by Y%"). Keep it under 50 words. CTA: "Worth a 2-minute look?"
3. **Email 3 (The Soft Breakup):** Send 5 days later. Acknowledge they are busy growing their SaaS. Offer one last piece of value or a "no-oriented" question (e.g., "Should I stop reaching out regarding [PAIN POINT]?").
### RESTRICTIONS:
- No "Hope this finds you well."
- No "I'd love to jump on a 30-minute demo."
- Use "Spintax-ready" variations for subject lines.
- Focus on the "Jobs to be Done" framework.
This prompt engineers a high-conversion, three-part cold email sequence specifically designed for solo founders to reach other SaaS owners. It solves the issue of low engagement by stripping away corporate "fluff" and utilizing a low-friction, peer-to-peer strategy that respects the recipient's time. By focusing on a "Rule of One" approach, you move away from hard selling and toward starting meaningful business conversations.
To get the best results from this prompt, you must provide specific context for the AI to work with. Please prepare the following [VARIABLES]:
**[YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE]**: Define the specific group you are reaching out to. This helps the AI set the right level of sophistication.
Example: "Bootstrapped SaaS founders in the FinTech space making under $10k MRR."
**[INSERT TITLE]**: The specific job title of your prospect.
Example: "CEO," "Founder," or "Head of Growth."
**[INSERT PAIN POINT]**: The core problem your prospect is currently struggling with that your tool solves.
Example: "Spending 10+ hours a week manually vetting leads from LinkedIn."
For this specific copywriting task, the following models are recommended:
Claude 3.5 Sonnet: Highly recommended for its ability to mimic a natural, "human" tone that avoids the typical robotic feel of AI-generated sales emails.
Gemini 2.0 Flash: Excellent at following strict negative constraints (like "No 'Hope this finds you well'") and maintaining tight word counts for mobile-friendly emails.
GPT-4o: Best for generating a wide variety of Spintax subject lines to help you A/B test your open rates effectively.
If you input [INSERT TITLE]: Founder and [INSERT PAIN POINT]: Manual data entry, here is a sample of the generated sequence:
Email 1 (The Pattern Interrupt)
Subject: {{quick question | quick note}} regarding [Company] data entry
Hi {{First_Name}},
I noticed youāve been scaling [Company] recentlyācongrats on the growth. Usually, for founders, manual data entry is the biggest bottleneck to hitting that $20k MRR milestone.
I built an AI tool that automates that entire workflow so you can stay in "builder mode." Iāve already mapped out a quick workflow for [Company].
Open to seeing the list of leads I pulled for you?
Email 2 (The Case Study/Value)
Subject: {{Re: | Following up on}} your data entry bottleneck
{{First_Name}}, forgot to mentionāwe recently helped a solo dev automate this exact task, saving them about 12 hours every week.
Thought it might be a "low-hanging fruit" for [Company].
Worth a 2-minute look?
Email 3 (The Soft Breakup)
Subject: {{moving on | closing the loop}} / [Company]
Hi {{First_Name}},
I haven't heard back, so Iām assuming enhancing manual data entry isn't a priority for you right now. Completely understandāfounder life is a sprint.
Should I stop reaching out regarding this?
Best, [Your Name]
