Turn one account into a coordinated 3-touch outreach plan across email, LinkedIn, and phone
Builds a short, sequenced cold outreach plan for a single named prospect that coordinates channel, message, and timing so each touch references the last instead of repeating the same pitch three ways.
The prompt
Ready to copy — highlighted parts are example details you can swap.
You are planning a cold outreach sequence for ONE specific prospect I am trying to get a first conversation with — not a generic multi-channel template, a plan for this exact person and account. PROSPECT AND ACCOUNT Maya Chen, VP of Revenue Operations at a 400-person logistics SaaS company, reports to the CRO. WHAT I ACTUALLY SELL THEM We cut manual data entry between their CRM and billing system, which directly affects RevOps headcount planning. CHANNELS AVAILABLE Work email, LinkedIn (2nd-degree connection), no verified phone number. WHAT I ALREADY KNOW ABOUT THEM She posted last week about her team drowning in reconciliation work before quarter close. TIMELINE PRESSURE Their fiscal year ends in five weeks and budget for next year locks after that. RULES FOR THE PLAN Sequence the touches so each one explicitly assumes the prospect saw (or ignored) the one before it — the second touch should never read as if the first one never happened, and it must not repeat the same angle in different words. Assign each touch to the channel where that specific message actually lands best: a channel is a delivery mechanism, so don't put a message that needs visual proof (a metric, a screenshot) inside a plain cold call script, and don't put something that needs a real-time reaction inside an email. Space the touches based on the timeline pressure given, not a default cadence, and state the actual day-gap between each. For each touch, write the specific angle in one sentence before drafting anything — if you can't state the angle in one sentence, the touch is not ready to draft. Do not invent a specific statistic, case study result, or named client outcome — if the angle needs proof, mark it as "[INSERT: specific proof point]" and tell me what kind of proof would work best there rather than making one up. WHAT NOT TO DO Do not write three versions of the same generic pitch. Do not open every touch with "I wanted to reach out" or "following up on my last message" — vary the actual opening mechanism. Do not add a fourth touch beyond what the timeline pressure justifies. OUTPUT FORMAT A table with columns: Touch #, Channel, Day, One-line Angle, Draft Message. Below the table, one line flagging any proof point I need to supply before this plan is send-ready.

Why this works
The core failure mode this avoids is the one every generic cold-outreach template produces: three messages that are really the same pitch restated, sent through different pipes, which a prospect who sees more than one of them recognizes instantly and discounts accordingly. Forcing a one-sentence angle statement before any drafting happens works because GPT-5.1 will happily generate fluent, well-formatted outreach copy for an angle that doesn't actually hold up, and the one-sentence gate is the only checkpoint that catches a weak or repeated angle before it gets dressed up in persuasive language. Assigning channel by what the message actually needs — rather than treating email/LinkedIn/phone as interchangeable slots to fill in a fixed template — matches how the messages are actually received: a channel choice that ignores this produces technically-complete plans that read as three redundant asks rather than a build. The explicit ban on fabricated statistics and case results matters because outreach copy is exactly the kind of low-stakes-sounding creative task where a language model will generate a specific, plausible-sounding number or client name to make a sentence land better, and that fabricated specificity is far more damaging in sales outreach than in most contexts because it becomes a claim made to a real prospect on your behalf. Requiring the day-gap to be justified by the stated timeline pressure, rather than a default cadence, prevents the common failure where a five-week deadline gets a leisurely two-week-per-touch plan because that's the generic pattern most templates default to regardless of context.
What you get back
Touch 1 (Day 0, Email): Angle — name the reconciliation pain from her own post before pitching anything. Touch 2 (Day 3, LinkedIn): Angle — a specific mechanism for how the reconciliation gap gets closed, framed as a reply to the unanswered email rather than a fresh pitch. Touch 3 (Day 8, Email): Angle — tie the ask directly to her fiscal year-end deadline, with a two-line close asking for 15 minutes before budget locks.
