Cold Email

Description

When the user wants to write, improve, or build a sequence of B2B cold outreach emails to prospects who haven't asked to hear from them. Use when the user mentions 'cold email,' 'cold outreach,' 'prospecting emails,' 'SDR emails,' 'sales emails,' 'first touch email,' 'follow-up sequence,' or 'email prospecting.' Also use when they share an email draft that sounds too sales-y and needs to be hum...

What this skill does

1. 1Gathers sender context, prospect profile, and the specific trigger or signal for reaching out, then selects the right framework for a first-touch email that leads with the prospect's world rather than the product.
2. 2Writes a full 5-6 email sequence with escalating gaps (Day 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 35), each with a distinct angle — new evidence, different pain, related insight, direct question, or reverse ask — and a professional breakup email.
3. 3Critiques existing sequences by diagnosing whether underperformance is at the subject line (low opens), body (opens but no replies), or CTA (replies but wrong outcome), then rewrites the specific failing element.
4. 4Proactively flags openers that start with 'my name is' or 'I wanted to reach out,' emails over 150 words, follow-ups that just check in, and CTAs asking for 30-45 minute calls in email one.

When to use

• You're targeting a new segment and need a first-touch template grounded in a real trigger or signal.
• Your sequence is getting decent open rates but almost no replies and you can't tell why.
• You need a complete 6-email sequence with unique angles per touch, not just variations on the same pitch.
• You have a draft that sounds like marketing copy and you want it rewritten to read like a peer reaching out.
