Cold & prospecting AI prompts

I run {{your_agency}} and I sell {{service_eg_ads_GMB_reviews_SEO}} to local businesses. Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — local SMBs I'm prospecting.

For each, open on an external authority or a named competitor (a market stat, a competitor's review gaps, ad spend you noticed), reframe the threat as good news, and offer a free asset — a report, audit, quiz, or checklist — on a "pay only for results" or light-scarcity footing. Close with a one-word soft ask ("Interested?") or a "get the free [[report]] here" link — never a meeting ask.

Draft a 2-touch sequence, verify addresses, and build it in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's local-marketing-services templates: authority/competitor hook → reframe as opportunity → free asset → "pay for results" / scarcity → "Interested?" close. Real lines: "Customers will fight for your attention soon. Are you ready?", "This report is all education, no pitch."

Ensure the copy is real, human, and avoids any AI tell-tale signs, including em-dashes, staccato sentences, and unnatural language like: carry, shipped, ask etc.

I'm a founder raising {{round}} for {{your_company}}, a {{category}} company.

Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — target investors. For each, use the library's investor arc: one-sentence "what we do", stacked traction numbers ([[key metric]], [[growth rate]]), the raise (size + use of funds), then a personalised "why you specifically" line tying to their thesis, portfolio, or expertise — and a time-boxed 20–30 minute ask. Add the warm-intro variant where I flag a mutual connection in {{referral}}, and a follow-up carrying one new traction update. Sign off "Founder at {{your_company}}".

Verify addresses, then build it in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's investor-pitch templates: what-we-do → hard traction numbers → raise → investor-fit line → "Would 20 minutes work?"; uniquely signs "Founder at [[your company]]." Real subject: "[[Mutual connection]] suggested I reach out: [[your company]]."

Ensure the copy is real, human, and avoids any AI tell-tale signs, including em-dashes, staccato sentences, and unnatural language like: carry, shipped, ask etc.

I'm {{your_role}} at {{your_company}} and these prospects went quiet.

Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}}. For each, anchor to the prior touchpoint — an event we both attended, our last conversation, a product they viewed, or a past trial — then give a new reason to talk (a shipped feature, fresh proof, a specific suggestion) and a warm chat/demo ask. A lighter pattern-interrupt variant is fine where the tone fits.

Re-verify addresses first. Build it in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's re-engagement templates: relationship callback to a prior touchpoint → new reason → warm "quick chat or demo" ask; some lean on humour with no hard CTA. Real subjects: "Why did you go?", "New feature to solve [[XYZ]]."

I'm {{your_role}} at {{your_company}}. Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — prospects in {{industry_or_segment}}.

For each, lead with a comparable company, deliver a quantified before→after result (numbers are mandatory — [[specific result with numbers]], [[timeframe]]), then the connector line that makes the parallel to their situation explicit, then a low-commitment "worth 15 minutes?" ask. Second touch shares a fresh data point from the same reference.

Verify addresses, then build it in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's case-study templates: peer company → quantified before/after (every template has a "…with numbers" slot) → "why the parallel is strong" connector → value question. Real line: "The similarity to [[prospect company]]'s situation is what prompted me to reach out."

Ensure the copy is real, human, and avoids any AI tell-tale signs, including em-dashes, staccato sentences, and unnatural language like: carry, shipped, ask etc.

I'm {{your_role}} at {{your_company}}. Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — cold prospects worth warming slowly.

For each, open with a genuine, specific compliment (their content, profile, or a recent milestone), pivot to one friction or opportunity you spotted, and offer a free asset — a couple of tips, a short custom video, a guide, an audit — with a reply-YES micro-commitment rather than a meeting. Lower pressure than book-a-meeting; the goal is a reply, not a slot.

Draft a 2-touch sequence, verify addresses, and build it in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's prospecting templates: compliment → spotted friction → free-asset offer → micro-yes ("just send a YES", "do you want me to send you the third?"). Several are worked real-world examples with brand names baked in.

I'm {{your_role}} at {{your_company}}. Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — prospects I want on a call.

For each, use a warm hook (a shared event, a referral, a trigger, or a provocative question), compress the value into one proof line (a named customer, an integration, a stat), and make an explicit time-boxed ask — "15 to 20 minutes" — with a calendar-link fallback.

Where I flag it, pair the ask with "if it's not you, point me to the right person." Draft a 2-touch sequence, verify addresses, and build it in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's book-meeting templates: hook → compressed proof → explicit duration ask, usually with a calendar link. Real CTAs: "Are you available at [[time]] on [[day]] for a 15 to 20 minute phone call?", "How's your calendar look this Thursday?"

Ensure the copy is real, human, and avoids any AI tell-tale signs, including em-dashes, staccato sentences, and unnatural language like: carry, shipped, ask etc.

I'm {{your_role}} at {{your_company}} and we help {{ideal_customer}}.

Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — cold accounts with a researchable trigger.

For each, open on the real trigger ({{trigger_eg_hiring_funding_tech_stack_or_industry_pain}}), connect it to the challenge you solve, back it with proof ([[number]] companies, [[specific outcome]], [[timeframe]]), and ask the softest question in the cold set.

Run 3 touches: trigger opener, a "smaller ask" downsell (a 2-min video or one-pager instead of a call), then a clean breakup that leaves the door open.

Verify addresses, build it in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's lead-generation templates: researched trigger → challenge → proof → low-pressure question; includes an explicit breakup ("Closing the loop") and a smaller-ask downsell. Real subject: "[[Prospect company]] is hiring a [[role]]: quick question."

Ensure the copy is real, human, and avoids any AI tell-tale signs, including em-dashes, staccato sentences, and unnatural language like: carry, shipped, ask etc.

I'm {{your_role}} at {{your_company}}. Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — prospects I can research.

For each, lead with a specific fit signal (content they published, a workflow observation, a hiring or tech-stack indicator), connect it to one product capability plus a quantified proof point from a comparable customer, and ask briefly — with an explicit opt-out. Include the "different angle on [[topic]]" reframe as the second touch.

Draft a 2-touch sequence, verify addresses, and build it in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's sales-pitch templates: prospect-side observation → capability + numbers → short ask hedged with an out. Real lines: "I'll keep this short.", "If it's not a fit, I'll tell you directly.", "Different angle on [[topic from first email]]."

Ensure the copy is real, human, and avoids any AI tell-tale signs, including em-dashes, staccato sentences, and unnatural language like: carry, shipped, ask etc.

I'm {{your_role}} at {{your_company}} and we help {{ideal_customer}} with {{problem_you_solve}}. Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — cold prospects.

For each, use the tight 4-beat: one observed detail about them, the problem it implies, a single "we help [[type of companies]] with this" line, then a soft 15-minute ask — some can rely on an embedded question with no formal CTA. No pitch in email one, under 100 words.

Draft a 2-touch sequence, verify addresses, and build it in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's introduction templates: observed detail → named problem → one-line "we help [[type]]" → soft ask. Real line: "Not pitching anything. I'm trying to understand how teams like yours approach this."

Ensure the copy is real, human, and avoids any AI tell-tale signs, including em-dashes, staccato sentences, and unnatural language like: carry, shipped, ask etc.

I'm {{your_role}} at {{your_company}}. Pull my Hunter list {{list_name_or_url}} — leads who showed intent ({{signal_eg_pricing_page_download_webinar_or_referral}}).

For each, open by naming the exact signal, tie it to the challenge that content or visit implies, and make the hardest-in-the-library ask: a 15-minute call, offering two concrete slots. Fast and relevant over polished.

Draft a 2-touch sequence, verify addresses, and build it in Hunter for my review.

Grounded in Hunter's warm-lead templates: open on the observed intent signal → convert warmth to a booked call. Real CTAs: "Saw you on the pricing page… I have 15 minutes open on [[day]] at [[time]] or [[day]] at [[time]]", "[[Referrer name]] thought we should connect."
