Cold Email Sequence for B2B Industrial SMB

Prompt to generate a 3-email cold email sequence tailored to the B2B industrial sector with customizable variables.

Paste in your AI

Paste this prompt in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and customize the variables in brackets.

Write a sequence of 3 prospecting emails (cold email) for an industrial SMB named [SME_NAME] operating in the [INDUSTRIAL_SECTOR] sector (e.g., machining, sheet metal, boiler making, plastics, industrial maintenance). Our offer is [TARGETED_OFFER] (e.g., reducing downtime via IoT, optimizing production flows through Lean, custom spare parts supply). Target: [DECISION_MAKER_TITLE] (e.g., Industrial Director, Maintenance Manager, Technical Buyer) at mid-sized companies (ETI) or industrial SMBs in the [TARGETED_REGION] region.

Sector constraints: emphasize reducing hidden costs, increasing OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), ISO compliance (9001, 14001), and traceability. Avoid overly marketing language; prefer technical terms like 'process optimization', 'production management', 'continuous improvement'.

Structure each email (except the 3rd if follow-up):

  • Subject line (max 50 chars) with a measurable benefit or sector hook
  • Opening line: mention a specific industry problem (e.g., 'Are your production lines suffering costly unplanned downtime?')
  • Value proposition: 2-3 sentences presenting your solution with a quantified result (e.g., 'Our IoT sensors reduce downtime by 20%.')
  • Short social proof: 1 sentence with client name or sector (e.g., 'Already adopted by [CLIENT_NAME] in the aerospace sector.')
  • Weak call-to-action: request a 15-minute phone appointment or download a technical case study.

The 3rd email is a break-up email: direct tone, provocative question about a competitiveness issue (e.g., 'Do you know how much your unplanned downtime costs you per year?').

Editorial constraint: each email ≤ 150 words. Use a professional, concise tone, no superlatives. Personalize with [TARGET_COMPANY_NAME] and [CONTACT_NAME] in the preamble.

Output format: numbered list of 3 emails with subject and body separated by '---'.

ChatGPT Prompt for Planning a Product Launch

A product launch is a pivotal moment that can determine the success or failure of an offering in the market. Between defining positioning, coordinating marketing teams, planning distribution channels, and managing the timeline, there are many variables to master. ChatGPT becomes a strategic ally to structure this complexity. By providing precise context about your product, target market, and constraints, you get a detailed launch plan, phase by phase, with concrete actions and realistic deadlines. The AI particularly excels in generating retroplannings, identifying potential risks, and suggesting go-to-market tactics tailored to your industry. Instead of starting from a blank page, you start with a solid structure that you refine according to your priorities. This prompt was designed to cover the entire launch cycle, from pre-launch to post-launch follow-up, including D-day.
