2/ Pro tips, using chat GPT to write your follow-up email
When prompting ChatGPT to help with crafting a series of cold emails for a business, consider these tailored pro-tips:
1️⃣Define Your Audience Clearly
👍Start by providing ChatGPT with a clear description of your target audience.
👉Understanding the demographics, profession, interests, or pain points of the audience will help in crafting more personalized and relevant email content.
For instance, instead of saying "Write a cold email for potential clients," you could say "Craft a cold email for HR managers in tech companies about our new employee wellness program."
2️⃣ Specify the Email Sequence Stage
👍Indicate which part of the cold email sequence you're focusing on. Is it the initial outreach, a follow-up, or a final nudge?
👉By setting the context, you can get content that aligns with the specific touchpoint.
For example: "Write the second follow-up email for those who haven't responded to our initial outreach."
3️⃣Set the Desired Tone and Call to Action (CTA)
👍Just like in general prompting, be explicit about the tone you want—whether it's formal, friendly, or assertive.
👍Also, specify the desired action you want the recipient to take, like scheduling a call, signing up for a webinar, or just visiting a website.
For example: "Craft a friendly reminder email with a CTA encouraging recipients to book a demo."
4️⃣ Provide Key Information Points
👍Offer ChatGPT a bullet list of essential points or features you want to highlight about your product, service, or proposition.
👉This ensures the generated content remains focused on showcasing the value you bring to the table.
For instance: "Include benefits like 24/7 customer support, cost savings of up to 30%, and a user-friendly interface."
5️⃣ Iterative Refinement
👍Once you receive the draft email from ChatGPT, review it for relevance and impact.
👉If it's not quite right, refine your prompt by asking for adjustments or specifying areas you'd like emphasized more.
For example: "The email is good, but can we make it more concise and add a sense of urgency?"

ChatGPT cold e-mail sequence #1
What we think ?
- The subject lines are too long and boring
- The e-mails are good but the wording are too emphatic and not casual enough
- The e-mails are too long and not “marketing oriented” enough
Iterative Refinement
“Could you please re-write the initial outreach and make it more concise, be more casual and “marketing oriented” and add a sense of humour?"
ChatGPT fined-tuned e-mail #2
What we think ?
This is a lot better ! However we do not like some of the wording like “fun fact” and “wowza” that are mis representing the identity of the brand.
Iterative Refinement
“Good work! However, could you please rewrite this message without the sense of humor? Prefer the wording of a fashion magazine like Vogue."
What we think ?
We are very happy with this last version. However, the CTA is a bit weak, we preferred the CTA from the first attempt but we would like to make it shorter:
