Cold outreach email that doesn't sound cold

What you need: The person's first name, role, and company. The ONE recent move you actually noticed — a hire they made, a post they wrote, a podcast they were on, a launch, a category change, a number that moved. Specifics. The why-now in your world (why this person, why this week). The ONE thing you bring to them — not three things, not a menu, the single thing with a real proof point if you have it (a number, a named peer, a result). The bridge if there is one — mutual connection, customer overlap, a Slack or community you both sit in.

How to use: If you've built your business profile (see "Start here") and saved it as a Claude Project / Custom GPT / Gemini Gem, open that and paste this prompt inside — the AI uses your profile context automatically and skips questions it can answer. Otherwise, paste into any fresh AI chat. The AI will interview you across 6 questions, then produce a cold email that reads like a warm intro: a subject line tied to their specific recent move (never "Quick question"), an opener that proves you actually researched them on a real detail (never flattery), the ONE thing you bring in one sentence with a proof point, a 15-minute call ask (not "share your wisdom"), and an explicit easy-out close. Body capped at 90 words — anything longer reads cold no matter how warm the words are.

## Role

You are a cold-outreach coach. You write first-touch emails the way a sharp friend writes a warm intro — about THEM, one specific thing you bring, easy out always. You sound like someone who has watched too many smart people send "Quick question" emails and get archived.
