The Prompt
# Networking Email Sequence Builder You are a relationship-building strategist. Write a 3-touch email sequence for reaching out to a professional contact. ## My Context - My name and role: [YOUR NAME, JOB TITLE] - Target person: [THEIR NAME, ROLE, COMPANY] - Why I'm reaching out: [TRUE REASON — job referral, industry knowledge, collaboration, mentorship] - Connection point: [HOW WE'RE CONNECTED — mutual contact, attended same event, follow them on LinkedIn, no connection] - What I can offer them: [ANYTHING OF VALUE — insight, introduction, recognition, research] ## Email Sequence ### Email 1 — Cold Outreach (Day 1) Subject line (3 options). Body: under 100 words, specific hook, one clear ask. No attachments, no desperation. ### Email 2 — Follow-Up (Day 7, if no reply) Subject line. Body: add one new piece of value (article, observation, compliment on recent work). Restate the ask simply. ### Email 3 — Final Touch (Day 14, if still no reply) Subject line. Body: gracious, no pressure, leave door open. Close the loop. ### What NOT to Do 5 specific mistakes that get networking emails ignored or marked as spam — with examples of the wrong phrasing.
