Cold email that gets replies

A short, specific cold email built around why you're writing to them, plus subject lines and a follow-up.

Write a cold email to someone who doesn't know me. Busy people decide in seconds whether to reply, so it has to be short, specific and easy to answer.

The details:
- Who I'm writing to: [their name and role, e.g. Sam Lee, Head of Partnerships at a fintech]
- Who I am: [one line about you, e.g. founder of a two-person invoicing startup]
- What I want: [one specific ask, e.g. a 20-minute call about a pilot]
- Why them: [a specific, true reason, e.g. their talk on small-business payments]

How to write it:
- Open with why I'm writing to them in particular. No pleasantries, no "I hope this finds you well", and no introduction first.
- In one sentence, make clear what's in it for them.
- Make one small ask they can answer with a quick yes or no.
- Under 120 words, in short paragraphs, so it reads easily on a phone.
- Write like a capable peer: plain words, no flattery, no buzzwords, no exclamation marks.

Give me:
1. Three subject lines under 7 words that sound like a person wrote them, not a marketer.
2. The email.
3. A two-sentence follow-up to send 4 days later if there's no reply. It should add something new, not just bump the thread.

Before you reply, reread the email as the recipient. If it isn't clear within the first two lines why they got it, rewrite it.

Use only facts I've given you. If you need one I haven't provided, put a placeholder in curly braces, like {result}, instead of inventing it. If any detail in square brackets is still unfilled, ask me for those details in one short message before writing.

Write a short cold email asking someone I admire for advice. They owe me nothing, so it has to respect their time and be easy to answer.

The details:
- Who I'm writing to: [their name and role, e.g. Sam Lee, UX lead at a game studio]
- Who I am: [one line about you, e.g. a junior designer moving into games]
- My question: [one focused question, e.g. what to put in a game UI portfolio]
- What I know of their work: [something specific, e.g. their write-up on menu design]

How to write it:
- Lead with the specific piece of their work that made me write, and one thing I took from it.
- Ask one focused question they could answer by email in a few minutes. Offer a 15-minute call only as an alternative.
- Make it easy to say no. People answer more often when there's no pressure.
- Under 100 words. Warm and respectful, not gushing.

Give me 3 subject lines under 7 words, then the email, then a short thank-you reply to send if they answer.

Use only facts I've given you. If any detail in square brackets is still unfilled, ask me for those details in one short message before writing.

Write a cold sales email to a prospect who has never heard of us. It should read like a helpful note from a person, not a campaign.

The details:
- Prospect: [their role and company type, e.g. operations manager at a logistics firm]
- What we sell: [one line, e.g. software that automates delivery scheduling]
- The problem it solves: [their pain, e.g. hours lost rebuilding routes every morning]
- Proof: [one concrete result, e.g. a similar firm cut planning time by 40%]

How to write it:
- First line: a problem people in their role commonly have, in their words. No compliments, no "I hope you're well".
- Then one or two sentences on how we fix it, with the proof.
- End with an interest question instead of a meeting request (for example, "Worth a look?"). A small yes is easier to give than a calendar slot.
- Under 110 words, with no jargon and no links.

Give me:
1. Three subject lines under 6 words.
2. The email.
3. A follow-up for day 4 that adds one new, useful detail instead of "just bumping this".

Use only the proof I've given you, and never invent numbers or customer names. If any detail in square brackets is still unfilled, ask me for those details in one short message before writing.

Why it works

Busy people skim a cold email for three things: why me, what's in it for me, and what you want. The prompt makes the model put those first, caps the email at 120 words, and has it reread the draft as the recipient, which cuts the self-introductions and filler that get cold emails ignored. If you leave a blank, it asks you rather than making something up.

Polite follow-up after no reply

A friendly follow-up that gives them a reason to answer, without sounding needy or annoyed.

Write a follow-up email to someone who hasn't replied to me.

The details:
- Who: [their name and role, e.g. Alex, the hiring manager]
- What I sent, and when: [what and when, e.g. my portfolio and a question about the role, 6 days ago]
- What I still want: [the ask, e.g. a yes or no on an interview]
- Something new I can add: [a fresh detail, e.g. a case study I finished this week]

How to write it:
- Assume they're busy, not ignoring me. No guilt, no "just checking in", no "per my last email".
- Give them a reason to reply now: the new detail above or, if I have nothing new, a smaller and easier version of my ask.
- Make it answerable in one word, and make "not right now" an acceptable answer.
- 3 to 5 sentences. It goes in the same thread, so no subject line.

Give me two versions, one warm and one brief and direct. Then tell me in one line when to send the next follow-up if this one gets no reply.

Use only what I've told you. If any detail in square brackets is still unfilled, ask me for those details in one short message before writing.

Write a last, gracious follow-up to someone who hasn't answered my previous two emails.

The details:
- Who: [their name and role, e.g. Jordan, marketing lead]
- What I asked for: [the ask, e.g. feedback on a partnership proposal]

How to write it:
- Say clearly, without guilt, that this is my last note on the topic.
- Offer an easy way out: a one-word "not now" is a helpful answer.
- Leave the door open with one specific, low-effort next step for later.
- 3 sentences at most, friendly and confident, never passive-aggressive.

Give me 3 options in slightly different tones: warm, neutral and lightly funny.

If any detail in square brackets is still unfilled, ask me for those details in one short message before writing.

Write a follow-up email to send after a meeting, so everyone leaves with the same understanding.

The details:
- The meeting: [who and what, e.g. call with Dana from Acme about the spring pilot]
- What we agreed: [key decisions, e.g. a 6-week pilot starting June 3]
- Next steps: [who does what by when, e.g. I send the contract by Friday]

How to write it:
- Open with a one-line thank-you that mentions something specific from the conversation.
- Then a short recap: decisions as bullets, and next steps as "Owner: task, by date".
- Ask them to reply if anything is missing or wrong, so there's a clear record.
- Under 150 words, easy to scan, no filler.

Give me a subject line and the email.

Use only what I've told you, and put anything uncertain in curly braces, like {date}. If any detail in square brackets is still unfilled, ask me for those details in one short message before writing.

Why it works

Follow-ups usually fail because they only repeat the first email. This one has to bring something new or make the ask smaller, and it has to be answerable in one word, which makes replying easy. Making "not right now" an acceptable answer removes the awkwardness that stops people answering at all.
