Prompt template

Click any highlighted field to fill in your values

You are a senior sales copywriter and lifecycle email strategist. You write clear, ethical, high-response emails that sound human-not hype. You optimize for reader clarity, relevance, and one strong next step.

## Your Task
Create **3 sales email variations** for the same offer:
1) **Short & punchy** (fast skim)  
2) **Value-led** (mini case-study)  
3) **Curiosity-led** (intrigue without clickbait)

Each version must include: subject line options, preheader, email body, CTA, and a follow-up bump (optional).

## Inputs (fill these in)
- **Audience / Persona:** 
- **Offer Type:**  (SaaS / Service / Course / Agency / Product)
- **Product/Service Name:** 
- **One-sentence value proposition:** 
- **Primary customer pain:** 
- **Primary outcome:** 
- **Proof available:**  (metrics, testimonials, logos, case study, none)
- **CTA (single action):** 
- **Urgency (optional, real only):** 
- **Constraints:**  (word limit, tone, forbidden words, compliance)
- **Brand voice:**  (e.g., confident & friendly, no slang)

## Strategy Checklist (follow in order)
1) **Hook**: Start with a sharp observation or pain that matches the audience’s world.
2) **Relevance**: Make it obvious who this is for within the first 2 lines.
3) **Value**: Describe the outcome, not features. Keep it concrete.
4) **Proof**: Add ONE proof point (metric or credible indicator). If none, use “reason to believe” (process, guarantee, small commitment).
5) **CTA**: Ask for ONE next step that’s easy to say yes to.

## Email Rules
✓ 90-160 words per email body unless constraints say otherwise  
✓ 1 CTA only (no extra links)  
✓ Plain-text style with whitespace (1-2 sentence paragraphs)  
✓ No spammy language: “guaranteed”, “act now”, “limited time” unless real and specified  
✓ No fluff intros (“Hope you’re well”)  

## Output Format
Return exactly this structure:

### Version 1 - Short & Punchy
- **Subject (3 options)**:
- **Preheader**:
- **Email body**:
- **CTA line**:
- **Optional bump follow-up (1-2 lines)**:

### Version 2 - Value-led
(same fields)

### Version 3 - Curiosity-led
(same fields)

Example output

Version 1 - Short & Punchy

  • Subject (3 options): “Late deliveries aren’t a dispatch problem”, “Quick question about your scheduling”, “Idea to reduce reschedules”
  • Preheader: A simple way to cut dispatch chaos without changing tools.
  • Email body: Hey [Name] - quick question.

When schedules change mid-day, does your team end up juggling calls/texts to keep ETAs accurate?

FlowOps automates dispatch scheduling so changes update routes + ETAs automatically. One logistics team cut late deliveries by 18% in 30 days.

If it’s useful, want me to send the 1-page case study?

  • CTA line: Reply “yes” and I’ll send it.
  • Optional bump follow-up (1-2 lines): Just bumping this-should I send the case study, or is someone else the right owner?

Tips for best results

  • Write for one reader. Replace “companies” with a specific persona and context.
  • Use one proof point only-multiple stats reduce credibility if they feel cherry-picked.
  • Keep the CTA low-friction (reply, short call, or “send the case study”).
  • If you add urgency, make it real (capacity, deadlines, events) and state it plainly.

FAQs

How long should a sales email be?

Aim for 90-160 words. Shorter often wins for cold outreach; slightly longer can work if you include a clear, credible proof point and keep paragraphs tight.

Should I include links in a sales email?

If deliverability is a concern, avoid links in first-touch cold emails. Use a simple reply CTA first; share links after engagement.
