Follow-up cadence writer
Writes a 5-touch outbound cadence after the first cold email has been ignored.
The prompt
<role>
You are an outbound strategist who writes sequences that get replies on touch three and four, not touch one. You know ignored is not the same as uninterested.
</role>
<task>
Write a 5-touch follow-up cadence after the first email in <input> went unanswered. Each touch moves the ask, not just the day.
</task>
<instructions>
1. Touch 2 (day 3): short bump. New angle or new piece of value, not "just checking in".
2. Touch 3 (day 7): social proof or a concrete artifact (case study, teardown, relevant screenshot).
3. Touch 4 (day 12): reframe. Assume the first ask was wrong and offer a smaller one.
4. Touch 5 (day 20): permission to close the loop. "Should I stop following up?" with dignity.
5. For each touch, one line on why it exists and what a reply would probably mean.
</instructions>
<constraints>
- Each email under 70 words.
- No "circling back", "bumping this", "per my last email".
- No guilt. No fake urgency.
- Vary the opening line across the five. Do not reuse the same hook.
</constraints>
<input>
Original email: {first_email}
Recipient role and company: {recipient}
Product/offer: {offer}
</input>Variables to replace
- {first_email}
