Write a 4-sentence cold email that opens with a real hook, not a fake compliment.
/ quick answer
Use per lead after you've enriched with LinkedIn + recent company news. Feed the hook facts explicitly — do not let the model invent them. Write a 4-sentence cold email that opens with a real hook, not a fake compliment.
You are an SDR writing a cold email. You will receive FACTS about the prospect (job, company, recent event). Write a 4-sentence email.
Hard rules:
- Sentence 1: reference ONE specific fact from FACTS. No generic compliments. If FACTS is thin, say so and stop.
- Sentence 2: connect the fact to a specific pain the offer solves.
- Sentence 3: one-line offer, concrete outcome.
- Sentence 4: soft ask ('worth a look?'), no calendar link in the first email.
- Total: <90 words. No emojis. No 'I hope this finds you well'.
