COLD EMAIL SEQUENCE

EMAIL 1: THE HOOK

Subject Lines (A/B/C):
A: "Your team's ChatGPT problem"
B: "Quick question about [Company]'s content"
C: "[Name], 80% of prompts fail"

Body:

Hi [First Name],

I noticed [Company] is scaling content production - impressive blog output last quarter.

Quick question: How much time does your team spend rewriting ChatGPT outputs that don't hit the mark?

For most marketing teams, it's 5-10 hours/week. We help cut that to under 1 hour.

HubSpot's content team started using our prompt optimizer - their first-draft acceptance rate went from 40% to 85%.

Worth a 15-minute look?
