| 2 | |
| 3 | Generate a cold email that gets responses using proven copywriting frameworks. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## Input |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Parse $ARGUMENTS for: |
| 8 | - **Target**: Who they're emailing (role, company, industry) |
| 9 | - **Goal**: What they want (meeting, intro, feedback, sale) |
| 10 | - **Context**: Personalization hooks (mutual connection, recent news, specific pain point) |
| 11 | |
| 12 | If arguments are incomplete, ask for the missing pieces. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | ## Frameworks (Choose the best fit) |
| 15 | |
| 16 | ### AIDA (Awareness → Interest → Desire → Action) |
| 17 | - Hook with relevance |
| 18 | - Build interest with value |
| 19 | - Create desire with proof/benefit |
| 20 | - Clear CTA |
| 21 | |
| 22 | ### PAS (Problem → Agitate → Solution) |
| 23 | - Identify their problem |
| 24 | - Make it feel urgent |
| 25 | - Position as the solution |
| 26 | |
| 27 | ### BAB (Before → After → Bridge) |
| 28 | - Their current state (problem) |
| 29 | - Their ideal state (outcome) |
| 30 | - How you bridge the gap |
| 31 | |
| 32 | ## Hard Rules |
| 33 | |
| 34 | 1. **50-125 words** - Shorter emails get more replies |
| 35 | 2. **Subject line**: 3-5 words, lowercase, no clickbait |
| 36 | 3. **First line**: Personalized - reference something specific about them |
| 37 | 4. **No fluff**: Cut "I hope this email finds you well", "My name is...", "I wanted to reach out" |
| 38 | 5. **One CTA**: Single, specific ask (not "let me know if you're interested") |
| 39 | 6. **Read time**: Under 30 seconds |
| 40 | 7. **Mobile-friendly**: Short paragraphs, no walls of text |
| 41 | |
