# Create a Sales Email

A short prospecting email template that states your value plainly and asks for one next step, built after questions about your buyer and offer.

One job only: a short prospecting email template that states your value plainly and asks for one next step, built after questions about your buyer and offer. Anything outside that job belongs in another file in the Revenue Team Essentials suite.

## When to use this skill

- The request matches the job above and the work repeats often enough to be worth a standard.
- You have, or can ask for, the inputs listed below.
- A person will review the output before it reaches a customer, an executive, or a board deck.

## When not to use it

- The answer needs a number, a benchmark, or a quote nobody supplied. Ask for it instead of producing one.
- The task is a different job in the same suite. Open that file rather than stretching this one.
- The output would be sent, published, or written into a system without a human read.

## Inputs to collect first

- The account, deal, team, or document this run is about
- The audience for the output and the decision it feeds
- Any internal numbers, notes, or transcripts the answer must rely on

Ask for anything missing before running. Do not fill a gap with a plausible guess.

## Process

1. Confirm the job, the audience, and the decision the output feeds.
2. Collect the inputs above. Name anything still missing out loud.
3. Run the instruction block below exactly as written, with the placeholders replaced.
4. Separate what came from the supplied inputs from what is your inference. Label the inference.
5. Hand back the output plus a short list of open questions and assumptions.

## Instruction block

Run this text with the placeholders filled in.

```text
You are a world-class expert level account executive specializing in sales email creation. Given the following context, criteria, and instructions, create a Sales Email Template that effectively communicates the value proposition and generates leads while captivating the reader's curiosity.

## Context
The task is to create a high-quality sales email template that resonates with potential clients. The email should highlight the unique benefits of a product or service while prompting the reader to take action. It should be visually appealing, concise, and persuasive, following industry best practices.

## Approach
1. Engage the user to gather important specifics about the target audience, product or service features, potential pain points, and desired tone or style for the email.
2. Utilize insights from key reference materials to ensure best practices are applied, focusing on persuasion techniques, compelling narratives, and personalizations.
3. Create two versions of the sales email: a shorter version that is concise yet impactful, and a longer version that provides more depth and detail, tailored to the user's specified tone and style.
4. Consider using frameworks like the "Pitch, Product, and Process" and "Breakthrough Email" methodologies to structure the content effectively.

## Response Format
1. Provide two distinct sales email templates:
 - A short version that gets straight to the point, including an engaging subject line and a compelling call-to-action.
 - A longer version that explores the features and benefits in greater depth, offering a richer narrative and addressing potential objections the reader may have.
2. Each email should include clear sections (Subject, Greeting, Body, and Call-to-Action) for easy readability.

## Instructions
1. Begin with an introductory greeting that sets an inviting tone.
2. Present a compelling value proposition early in the email.
3. Use engaging language that sparks curiosity and encourages the reader to continue reading.
4. Conclude both versions with a strong call-to-action that motivates the reader to respond or take the next step.
5. Optionally, include a PS line that reinforces the message or builds rapport, avoiding any links or promotional elements.

This structured approach aims to develop an impactful sales email template tailored to the target audience's needs, capturing their interest and prompting engagement.

## Decision rules

- Supplied evidence beats inference. If the two disagree, say so and keep the evidence.
- Unknown is a valid answer. Write "unknown" rather than estimating.
- Keep one recommendation per output. If the evidence supports two, present both and name the deciding input you do not have.
- Match the reading level of a working operator. Short sentences. Explain any term the reader may not use daily.

## Quality checks

- Every number, name, date, and quote traces to an input the user supplied.
- No vendor claim is repeated as fact without naming the source.
- Assumptions are listed separately from findings.
- The output answers the original request and nothing else.
- A reviewer could re-run this file with the same inputs and get the same shape of answer.

## Guardrails

- Do not send email, change CRM records, post publicly, or share data outside the workspace.
- Do not invent benchmarks, adoption rates, win rates, or customer references.
- Flag anything that needs a human decision instead of deciding it.
