Prompt objective
Create re-engagement templates that reopen conversations with inactive leads without seeming desperate or spammy, using contextual triggers and smart timing.
Real use case

Customize these fields first
Replace the placeholders with your own context before you run the prompt. That usually improves the first output more than adding more instructions later.
Prompt
Create re-engagement templates for inactive leads for [COMPANY NAME], which sells [PRODUCT/SERVICE] to [SEGMENT]. The leads went cold [30/60/90] days ago.\n\n**Diagnosis — Why they went cold (categorize):**\n- Prospect ghosted after proposal was sent\n- Prospect said \"we'll evaluate\" and disappeared\n- Prospect asked to reconnect later and never did\n- Prospect was warm but priorities shifted\n- Prospect changed roles/companies\n\n**For each scenario, create 2 templates:**\n\n**Scenario 1 — Ghosted after proposal (2 emails):**\n- Version A: light humor (\"Not sure if my email went to spam or if you're dodging me...\")\n- Version B: new value (\"Since our last conversation, we launched [FEATURE]...\")\n\n**Scenario 2 — Said they'd evaluate (2 emails):**\n- Version A: external trigger (\"I saw that [MARKET EVENT], which I imagine impacts...\")\n- Version B: new social proof (\"[SIMILAR COMPANY] implemented it and in 60 days...\")\n\n**Scenario 3 — Never responded back (2 WhatsApp messages):**\n- Version A: personalized voice message (30-second script)\n- Version B: shareable content (\"Thought you might find this interesting...\")\n\n**Scenario 4 — Priorities shifted (2 emails):**\n- Version A: genuine check-in with no sales agenda\n- Version B: offer a smaller scope or pilot\n\n**Scenario 5 — Changed roles (1 LinkedIn + 1 email):**\n- Congratulations message + reconnection in their new context\n\n**Timing Framework:**\n- Best day and time for re-engagement (regional data)\n- Minimum interval between attempts\n- Maximum attempts before marking as lost\n- Automatic triggers for re-engagement (site visit, opening old email, LinkedIn post engagement)\n\n**Email subject lines with high open rates for re-engagement (10 options).**\n\nTone: light, human, and pressure-free.
