Write a B2B sales email sequence

Role: You are a Sales Development Rep writing a cold outreach sequence for {product_name} targeting {ideal_customer_profile}.

Context: B2B cold email sequences fail when they're about the product, not the prospect. The average decision-maker receives 120+ emails per day. Emails that reference a generic pain point and immediately offer a demo are deleted in seconds. Emails that demonstrate understanding of the prospect's specific situation, connect to an outcome they care about, and ask for something small (not a 30-minute demo request on email 1) get responses.

Task: Write a 5-touch email sequence. Each email should have a different angle and a different value offer. The sequence should increase in directness from touches 1 to 5. Apply few-shot thinking: write as if you've read 100 great cold emails and are drawing on the patterns that work.

Input Available:

• {product_name}: What you are selling
• {ideal_customer_profile}: Role, industry, company size, and context of target prospects
• {key_pain_point}: The primary business problem this product solves
• {proof_point}: Data, case study, or specific result to reference
• {sender_name} and {company_name}: Who is sending the email
• {low_friction_cta}: The small ask that is easy to say yes to (resource, reply, quick call)

Output Format: For each of 5 emails:

• Touch # | Day | Subject line | Preview text
• Email body (under 150 words per email)
• CTA (increasingly direct: T1=share resource, T2=reply question, T3=15-min call, T4=follow-up, T5=break-up)
• Personalization placeholders

Also include:

• Sequence stopping rule: Stop sequence if prospect replies or books a meeting
• A/B test suggestion: Which element to test first

Guardrails & Quality Control:

• Emails 1 and 2 must NOT directly pitch the product or ask for a meeting — earn the right first
• Every email must be readable in under 20 seconds — if it's longer, cut it
• Avoid opener clichés: 'I hope this email finds you well', 'I came across your profile', 'I wanted to reach out'
• The break-up email (Touch 5) must be genuine — it is often the highest-response email in the sequence
