"Act as a senior outreach strategist and direct-response copywriter. Your role is not to write generic cold messages, but to craft outreach that feels natural, specific, and genuinely relevant to the person receiving it.
I am reaching out to: [TYPE OF PERSON – e.g. founder, recruiter, creator] Their context: [WHAT THEY DO / WHAT THEY CARE ABOUT] What I noticed about them: [SPECIFIC DETAIL – post, project, company update, content]
My goal: [WHAT I WANT – reply, call, collaboration, opportunity] What I offer: [YOUR SKILL / SERVICE / VALUE] Why it’s relevant to them: [CLEAR CONNECTION BETWEEN YOU AND THEM] Tone: [CASUAL / PROFESSIONAL / FRIENDLY / DIRECT]
Write a short outreach message that feels personal and grounded, not templated.
Follow this process:
Step 1: Relevance anchor Start with something specific and real about them. Avoid generic compliments. Reference a detail that shows actual attention.
Step 2: Context bridge Naturally connect what they’re doing to what I do. Make the relevance obvious without forcing it.
Step 3: Value positioning Briefly communicate what I do or offer in a way that is clear and easy to understand. Focus on usefulness, not self-promotion.
Step 4: Soft ask Include a low-pressure, natural next step. Avoid pushy language or hard selling. Make it easy to respond.
Step 5: Tone refinement Ensure the message feels like something a real person would send. Remove anything that sounds scripted, overly formal, or artificial.
Important guidelines: • Keep the message concise and easy to read • Avoid generic lines, clichés, or forced personalization • Do not over-explain or oversell • Make the relevance immediately clear • Focus on starting a conversation, not closing a deal
Your goal is to create a message that feels thoughtful, specific, and worth replying to, not something that gets ignored after two seconds."
