Paste in your AI
Paste this prompt in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and customize the variables in brackets.
You are an expert in B2B copywriting and sales prospecting. Write a cold prospecting email in French that follows these rules:
Context:
- My company: [COMPANY_NAME]
- What we offer: [OFFER_DESCRIPTION in 1 sentence]
- Target: [PROSPECT_POSITION AND COMPANY_TYPE]
- Problem we solve: [MAIN_PAIN_POINT]
- Social proof: [QUANTIFIED RESULT OR REFERENCE CLIENT]
Writing Constraints:
- Email subject: maximum 6 words, sparking curiosity without being cheesy
- Body: 80 to 120 words maximum
- Structure: personalized hook (1 sentence) → problem identification (1-2 sentences) → value proposition with proof (1-2 sentences) → unique and precise call-to-action (1 sentence)
- Tone: professional yet conversational, like a peer addressing a peer
- Absolutely avoid: superlatives, generic phrases like "I allow myself to contact you," bullet points, mentioned attachments
- The CTA must propose a specific time slot or a closed question
Generate 3 variants with different hook angles: one based on an industry observation, one based on a trigger event, and one based on a provocative question.

Why this prompt works
This prompt leverages the PASTOR framework (Problem, Amplify, Story, Transformation, Offer, Response) adapted to the short cold email format. By imposing strict length and structure constraints, it forces Mistral to produce dense, impactful content rather than vague formulations. The request for three variants with different angles allows testing multiple approaches and identifying the one that resonates best with your target audience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use Mistral over another AI model for writing sales prospecting emails in French?
Mistral was trained with a special focus on the French language, giving it a superior grasp of idiomatic expressions, French business register, and the cultural nuances of B2B communication in France. Where other models sometimes produce literal translations of Anglo-Saxon phrasing, Mistral generates emails that sound natural in French. What's more, being developed by a French company, it complies with European data privacy standards—a significant plus when you're handling sensitive business information.
How do I personalize emails generated by Mistral for each prospect without spending too much time?
The key is to create a prompt template with clearly identified variables in brackets. Prepare a spreadsheet with specific information for each prospect (name, company, recent news, pain point identified) and then feed this data into your prompt. You can also ask Mistral to generate opening line variations based on different trigger events (fundraising round, new hire, product launch) that you've spotted on LinkedIn or in the press. This semi-automated approach lets you personalize 50 to 100 emails per hour while maintaining a high level of quality.
What are the pitfalls to avoid when using AI for email prospecting?
The main trap is copying and pasting AI-generated emails without reviewing or adapting them. Mistral produces excellent foundations, but every email needs to be checked to ensure the prospect's information is accurate and the tone aligns with your brand. Also avoid generating emails that are too long or overly sophisticated: the best prospecting emails are under 120 words. Finally, don't use AI to send massive volumes without segmentation. Large-scale personalization only works if your targeting is precise from the start. Always test your emails on a small sample before rolling out a full campaign.

Gemini Prompt for Summarizing a Document
Summarizing a long document is one of the tasks where Gemini excels thanks to its massive context window, capable of processing up to 1 million tokens. Whether you have a 200-page annual report, a complex legal contract, or a university thesis, Gemini can extract the essentials in seconds.

The key lies in a structured prompt that specifies the desired level of detail, the analysis angle, and the output format. A good summary prompt guides Gemini to distinguish essential information from noise, retain important numerical data, and adapt the tone to the target audience. In this guide, you'll find a main optimized prompt along with three variants suited to your expertise level. Whether you're a student looking to synthesize your courses, a professional needing to digest industry reports, or a researcher analyzing scientific literature, these prompts will save you hours of reading while preserving the substance of the original document.
