Cold email prompt

What most people type

write a cold email to restaurant owners selling our online ordering software, it has no commission fees unlike doordash

It works, but the AI has to guess your your name, role and company, product name and one-line description and how pricing works, e.g. flat monthly fee, so the first answer usually needs another round. The version below asks for exactly what a professional would deliver.

Write a cold email to restaurant owners selling our online ordering software. The key selling point is that it has no commission fees, unlike DoorDash.

Context:
- Sender: [your name, role and company]
- Product: [product name and one-line description]
- Pricing model: [how pricing works, e.g. flat monthly fee]
- Something specific about the recipient's restaurant: [personalization detail, e.g. cuisine, location or current delivery setup]
- Proof, only if real: [customer result or testimonial]

What to include:
- 3 subject line options with preview text
- A short body that opens with the commission pain point, shows how our software avoids it, and stays easy to read on a phone
- One clear call to action: [e.g. book a 15-minute demo, reply, or start a free trial]

Do not invent statistics, savings figures, customer names or claims about DoorDash's fees. If a savings example would help, tell me what numbers to supply and show the math using my figures.

Replace the [brackets] with your details before you send it: your name, role and company, product name and one-line description, how pricing works, e.g. flat monthly fee, customer result or testimonial, e.g. book a 15-minute demo, reply, or start a free trial.
